Ecclesiastes 11:1

The Value of Diligence

1 Cast your bread ^aupon the waters,
^bFor you will find it after many days.

2 ^aGive a serving ^bto seven, and also to eight,
^cFor you do not know what evil will be on the earth.

3 If the clouds are full of rain,
They empty themselves upon the earth;
And if a tree falls to the south or the north,
In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.

4 He who observes the wind will not sow,
And he who regards the clouds will not reap.
