Ecclesiastes 11:1-5 ▼

1 Send forth your bread on the face of the waters, || For in the multitude of the days you find it.

2 Give a portion to seven, and even to eight, || For you do not know what evil is on the earth.

3 If the thick clouds are full of rain, || On the earth they empty [themselves]; And if a tree falls in the south or to the north, || The place where the tree falls, there it is.

4 Whoever is observing the wind does not sow, || And whoever is looking on the thick clouds does not reap.

5 As you do not know what [is] the way of the spirit, || How—bones in the womb of the full one, || So you do not know the work of God who makes the whole.
