Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 - 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.
⁴ One who watches the wind will not sow,
and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap.
⁵ Just as you don’t know the path of the wind,
or how bones develop in the womb of a pregnant woman,
so you don’t know the work of God who makes everything.
⁶ In the morning sow your seed,
and at evening do not let your hand rest,
because you don’t know which will succeed,
whether one or the other,
or if both of them will be equally good.
