Ecclesiastes 11:3

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.

5 As ^ayou do not know what is the way of the¹ wind,
^bOr how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

6 In the morning sow your seed,
And in the evening do not withhold your hand;
For you do not know which will prosper,
Either this or that,
Or whether both alike will be good.
