Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
1Cast thy breadH3899 upon the watersH4325; for thou shalt findH4672 it after many daysH3117.
2GiveH5414 a portionH2506 to sevenH7651, and alsoH1571 to eightH8083; for thou knowest not what evilH7451 shall beH1961 upon the earthH776.
3If the cloudsH5645 be fullH4390 of rainH1653, they empty themselves upon the earthH776; and if a treeH6086 fallH5307 toward the southH1864, or toward the northH6828, in the placeH4725 where the treeH6086 falleth, there it shall be.
4He that observeth the windH7307 will not sowH2232; and he that regardeth the cloudsH5645 will not reapH7114.
5As thou knowest not what is the wayH1870 of the spiritH7307, howH4100 the bonesH6106 [grow] in the wombH990 of her that is with child, even so thou knowest not the workH4639 of 1GodH430 who maketh all.
6In the morningH1242 sowH2232 thy seedH2233, and in the eveningH6153 withhold not thy handH3027; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike goodH2896.
