EGYPTIAN. 

 20 And indeed curse not the King in thy thought, 



In thy bedchamber curse not the rich: 



For a bird of the air shall carry thy voice, 



And that whicli has wings shall tell thy speech. 

 11 Cast thy bread upon the face of the waters : 



For in fullness of days thou shalt find it, 



2 Give a portion to seven, aye to eight : 



For thou knowest not what evil shall be on the earth. 



ASSTRIAN. 



3 If the clouds be full of rain 



They empty themselves on the earth : 

 Whether the tree falls lo the South 

 Or whether it falls to the North, 

 In the place where the tree falls 

 There it shall be : 



4 The one watching the wind sows not, 



The one gazing at the clouds shall not reap : 



5 In which there is none who knows the way of the spirit. 



SOLOMON. 



As the bones (grow) in the womb of a woman with child 

 So thou knowest not the works of God, 

 All the things that He doeth. 



6 In the morning sow thy seed. 



And in the evening hold not thy hand : 

 For thou knowest not which sliall flourish, 

 Whether this or that : 

 Or whether both shall be alike good. 



7 Sweet is the light. 



And good to the eyes to behold the sun : 



8 For if a man should live many years. 

 Let him rejoice in them all : 



Yet let him remember the days of darkness, 

 For they shall be many : 

 All that Cometh is perplexity. 



9 Rejoice, oh young man, in thy youth : 



And let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth : 

 And walk blameless 

 In the ways of thy heart. 

 And not in the sight of thine eyes : 

 And know that in all these things 

 God will bring thee into judgment. 

 Therefore put away wrath from thy heart, 

 10 And remove wickedness from thy flesh : 



For youth and thoughtlessness are perplexity.
