NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Ecclesiastes 11

Cast Your Bread on the Waters

1

 aCasth7971 your breadh3899 on the surfaceh6440 of the watersh4325, for you  awill findh4672 it  1after manyh7230 daysh3117.

2

 aDivideh5414 your portionh2506 to sevenh7651, or evenh1571 to eighth8083, for you do not knowh3045 whath4100  bmisfortuneh7463a may occurh1961 on the earthh776.

3

Ifh518 the cloudsh5645 are fullh4390, they pourh7385a out rainh1653 upon the earthh776; and whetherh518 a treeh6086 fallsh5307 toward the southh1864 or toward the northh6828, whereverh4725 the treeh6086 fallsh5307, thereh8033 it  1liesh1961.

4

He who watchesh8104 the windh7307 will not sowh2232 and he who looksh7200 at the cloudsh5645 will not reaph7114b.

5

Justh3512c as you do not  aknowh3045  1the pathh1870 of the windh7307 and  bhow bonesh6106 are formed in the wombh990 of the  2pregnanth4392 womanh4392, soh3602 you do not  cknowh3045 the activityh4639 of Godh430 whoh834 makesh6213a allh3605 thingsh3605.

6

Sowh2232 your seedh2233  ain the morningh1242 and do not  1be idleh5117h3027 in the eveningh6153, for you do not knowh3045 whetherh335  2morningh2088 orh176 evening sowing will succeedh3787, or whetherh518 bothh8147 of them alikeh259 will be goodh2896a.

7

The lighth216 is pleasanth4966, and it is goodh2896a for the eyesh5869 to  aseeh7200 the sunh8121.

8

Indeedh3588, ifh518 a manh120 should liveh2421a manyh7235a yearsh8141, let him  arejoiceh8055 in them allh3605, and let him rememberh2142 the  bdaysh3117 of darknessh2822, for they will be manyh7235a. Everythingh3605 that is to comeh935 will be futilityh1892.

9

Rejoiceh8055, youngh970 manh970, during your childhoodh3208, and let your hearth3820 be pleasanth3190 during the daysh3117 of youngh979 manhoodh979. And followh1980 the  1impulsesh1870 of your hearth3820 and the  2 adesiresh4758 of your eyesh5869. Yet knowh3045 that  bGodh430 will bringh935 you to judgmenth4941 for allh3605 theseh428 thingsh428.

10

So, removeh5493 griefh3708a and angerh3708a from your hearth3820 and puth5674a awayh5674a  1 apainh7463a from your bodyh1320, becauseh3588 childhoodh3208 and the primeh7839 of lifeh7839 are fleetingh1892.
