Ecclesiastes 11:1-7 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
Send out your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will get it back.
2
Divide your means seven ways, or even eight, for you do not know what disaster may happen on earth.
3
When clouds are full, they empty rain on the earth; whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
4
Whoever observes the wind will not sow; and whoever regards the clouds will not reap.
5
Just as you do not know how the breath comes to the bones in the mother's womb, so you do not know the work of God, who makes everything.
6
In the morning sow your seed, and at evening do not let your hands be idle; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.
7
Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.
