Ecclesiastes 11:1
11:1 Cast thy bread upon the {a} waters: for thou shalt find it
     after many days.

     (a) That is, be liberal to the poor, and though it seems to
         be as a thing ventured on the sea, yet it will bring
         you profit.

Ecclesiastes 11:3
11:3 If the {b} clouds are full of rain, they empty [themselves]
     upon the earth: and if the {c} tree falleth toward the
     south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree
     falleth, there it shall be.

     (b) As the clouds that are full pour out rain, so the rich
         that have abundance must distribute it liberally.
     (c) He exhorts to be liberal while we live: for after,
         there is no power.

Ecclesiastes 11:4
11:4 He that observeth the {d} wind shall not sow; and he that
     regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

     (d) He who fears inconveniences when need requires will
         never do his duty.

Ecclesiastes 11:6
11:6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening {e}
     withhold not thy hand: for thou knowest not which shall
     prosper, either this or {f} that, or whether they both
     [shall be] alike good.

     (e) Be not weary of well doing.
     (f) That is, which of your works are most agreeable to God.

Ecclesiastes 11:8
11:8 But if a man shall live many years, [and] rejoice in them
     all; yet let him remember the days of {g} darkness; for
     they shall be many. All that cometh [is] vanity.

     (g) That is, of affliction and trouble.

Ecclesiastes 11:9
11:9 {h} Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart
     cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways
     of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: but know thou,
     that for all these [things] God will bring thee into
     judgment.

     (h) He derides them who set their desire in worldly
         pleasures as though God would not call count.

Ecclesiastes 11:10
11:10 Therefore remove {i} sorrow from thy heart, and {k} put
      away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth [are]
      vanity.

      (i) That is, anger and envy.
      (k) Meaning, carnal lusts to which youth is given.
