2
Give a portion to seven or even to eight, for you don't know what disaster may happen on earth.
Ecclesiastes 11:2 In-Context
1
Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return.
2
Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
3
If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.
4
Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
5
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
