Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

1Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it.

2Give portions to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what disaster may happen upon the earth.

3If the clouds are full, they empty out rain upon the earth. Whether a tree falls to south or north, the tree lies wherever it falls.

4Whoever keeps watching the wind will not sow and whoever gazes at the clouds will not reap.

5Just as you do not know how the spirit passes into the bones in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of God who makes all things.

6In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not let your hand be idle, for you do not know if this or that will succeed, or if both will prosper together.
