ECC_11:1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
ECC_11:2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

ECC_12:5 Also [when] they shall be afraid of [that which is] high, and fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
ECC_12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
ECC_12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

SON_1:5 I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
