Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 - Living In The Light Of The Limits Of Human Knowledge

¹ Cast thy bread-corn, upon the face of the waters, - for, after many days, shalt thou find it: ² Give a portion to seven, yea even to eight, - for thou canst not know, what there shall be of misfortune, upon the earth. ³ If the clouds be filled with a downpour, upon the earth, will they empty themselves, and, if a tree fall in the south or in the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there will it be found. ⁴ He that observeth the wind, will not sow, - and, he that watcheth the clouds, will not reap. ⁵ Just as thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, when the body is in the womb of her that is with child, even, so, canst thou not know the work of God, who maketh all. ⁶ In the morning, sow thy seed, and, until evening, do not withhold thy hand, - for thou knowest not - whether shall thrive, either this or that, or whether, both alike, shall be fruitful.
