Ecclesiastes 11:1-5 ▼

1 Spread your bread on the water— after a while you will find it.

2 Apportion what you have into seven, or even eight parts, because you don't know what disaster might befall the land.

3 If the clouds are full of rain, they will pour out on the earth; if a tree falls toward the south or the north, wherever it falls, there it will lay.

4 Whoever keeps staring at the wind won't sow; whoever daydreams won't reap.

5 Just as you do not understand the way of the spirit in the womb of a pregnant mother, so also you do not know what God is doing in everything he makes.
