本日經文提要(傳道書 11:1~12:14)
傳11:1當將你的糧食撒在水面，因為日久必能得著。
傳11:2你要分給七人，或分給八人，因為你不知道將來有甚麼災禍臨到地上。
傳11:3雲若滿了雨，就必傾倒在地上，樹若向南倒，或向北倒，樹倒在何處，就存在何處。
傳11:4看風的必不撒種，望雲的必不收割。
傳11:5風從何道來，骨頭在懷孕婦人的胎中如何長成，你尚且不得知道，這樣，行萬事之神的作為，你更不得知道。
傳11:6早晨要撒你的種，晚上也不要歇你的手，因為你不知道那一樣發旺，或是早撒的，或是晚撒的，或是兩樣都好。
傳11:7光本是佳美的，眼見日光也是可悅的。
傳11:8人活多年，就當快樂多年，然而也當想到黑暗的日子，因為這日子必多，所要來的都是虛空。
傳11:9少年人哪，你在幼年時當快樂，在幼年的日子，使你的心歡暢，行你心所願行的，看你眼所愛看的，卻要知道，為這一切的事，神必審問你。
傳11:10所以你當從心中除掉愁煩，從肉體克去邪惡，因為一生的開端，和幼年之時，都是虛空的。
傳12:1你趁著年幼，衰敗的日子尚未來到，就是你所說：我毫無喜樂的那些年日未曾臨近之先，當記念造你的主。
傳12:2不要等到日頭，光明，月亮，星宿，變為黑暗，雨後雲彩反回，
傳12:3看守房屋的發顫，有力的屈身，推磨的稀少就止息，從窗戶往外看的都昏暗，
傳12:4街門關閉，推磨的響聲微小，雀鳥一叫，人就起來，歌唱的女子，也都衰微，
傳12:5人怕高處，路上有驚慌，杏樹開花，蚱蜢成為重擔，人所願的也都廢掉，因為人歸他永遠的家，弔喪的在街上往來，
傳12:6銀鍊折斷，金罐破裂，瓶子在泉旁損壞，水輪在井口破爛，
傳12:7塵土仍歸於地，靈仍歸於賜靈的神。
傳12:8傳道者說：虛空的虛空，凡事都是虛空。
傳12:9再者，傳道者因有智慧，仍將知識教訓眾人，又默想，又考查，又陳說許多箴言。
傳12:10傳道者專心尋求可喜悅的言語，是憑正直寫的誠實話。
傳12:11智慧人的言語，好像刺棍，會中之師的言語，又像釘穩的釘子，都是一個牧者所賜的。
傳12:12我兒，還有一層，你當受勸戒，著書多，沒有窮盡，讀書多，身體疲倦。
傳12:13這些事都已聽見了，總意就是敬畏神，謹守他的誡命，這是人所當盡的本分。〔或作這是眾人的本分〕
傳12:14因為人所作的事，連一切隱藏的事，無論是善是惡，神都必審問。

July 16 ,2016-The Journey of Grace (198 /365) Ecc 11:1~12:14
Ecclesiastes 11
Invest in Many Ventures
11 Ship your grain across the sea;
after many days you may receive a return.
2 Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight;
you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
3 If clouds are full of water,
they pour rain on the earth.
Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north,
in the place where it falls, there it will lie.
4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
5 As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed[a] in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
6 Sow your seed in the morning,
and at evening let your hands not be idle,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well.
Remember Your Creator While Young
7 Light is sweet,
and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
8 However many years anyone may live,
let them enjoy them all.
But let them remember the days of darkness,
for there will be many.
Everything to come is meaningless.
9 You who are young, be happy while you are young,
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.
10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are meaningless.

Ecclesiastes 12
12 Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them”—
2 before the sun and the light
and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;
3 when the keepers of the house tremble,
and the strong men stoop,
when the grinders cease because they are few,
and those looking through the windows grow dim;
4 when the doors to the street are closed
and the sound of grinding fades;
when people rise up at the sound of birds,
but all their songs grow faint;
5 when people are afraid of heights
and of dangers in the streets;
when the almond tree blossoms
and the grasshopper drags itself along
and desire no longer is stirred.
Then people go to their eternal home
and mourners go about the streets.
6 Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
and the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
and the wheel broken at the well,
7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
8 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.[a]
“Everything is meaningless!”
The Conclusion of the Matter
9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.
11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one shepherd.[b] 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.
Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.
