Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

1CastH7971 thy breadH3899 uponH5921 the watersH4325: for thou shalt findH4672 it afterH5921 manyH7230 daysH3117.

2GiveH5414 a portionH2506 to sevenH7651, yeaH3588, evenH1571 unto eightH8083; for thou knowest notH3808 whatH4100 evilH7451 shall be uponH5921 the earthH776.

3IfH518 the cloudsH5645 be fullH4390 of rainH1653, they empty themselvesH5921 uponH5921 the earthH776: and ifH518 a treeH6086 fallH5307 towardH5921 the southH1864, or towardH5921 the northH6828, in the placeH4725 whereH8033 the treeH6086 falleth, there shall it be.

4He that observeth the windH7307 shall notH3808 sowH2232; and he that regardeth the cloudsH5645 shall notH3808 reapH7114.

5As thou knowest notH3808 whatH4100 is the wayH1870 of the windH7307, norH3808 howH4100 the bonesH6106 doH6213 grow in the wombH990 of herH3605 that is with child; evenH3808 soH6213 thou knowest notH3808 the workH4639 of GodH430 who doeth allH3605.

6In the morningH1242 sowH2232 thy seedH2233, and in the eveningH6153 withholdH259 notH369 thine handH3027: for thou knowest notH369 whichH2088 shall prosper, whetherH518 this or that, or whetherH518 they bothH8147 shall be alikeH259 goodH2896.
