1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, For thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Divide a portion into seven, yea, even into eight; For thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 If the clouds be full of rain, They empty themselves upon the earth; And if a tree fall in the south, or in the north, In the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be. 4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; And he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind, Nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; Even so thou knowest not the work of God Who doeth all things. Ecclesiastes 11:1-5, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
