Ecclesiastes 11:2

Living In The Light Of The Limits Of Human Knowledge

¹ Send your bread on the surface of the waters,
for after many days you may find it.
² Give a portion to seven or even to eight,
for you don’t know what disaster may happen on earth.
³ If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain on the earth;
whether a tree falls to the south or the north,
the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
