Ecclesiastes 11:1-5

11:1

Cast
<07971> (8761)

thy bread
<03899>

upon
<06440>

the waters
<04325>_:

for thou shalt find
<04672> (8799)

it after many
<07230>

days
<03117>_.

{upon...: Heb. upon the face of the waters}

11:2

Give
<05414> (8798)

a portion
<02506>

to seven
<07651>_,

and also to eight
<08083>_;

for thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not what evil
<07451>

shall be upon the earth
<0776>_.

11:3

If the clouds
<05645>

be full
<04390> (8735)

of rain
<01653>_,

they empty
<07324> (8686)

[themselves] upon the earth
<0776>_:

and if the tree
<06086>

fall
<05307> (8799)

toward the south
<01864>_,

or toward the north
<06828>_,

in the place
<04725>

where the tree
<06086>

falleth
<05307> (8799)_,

there it shall be
<01933> (8799)_.

11:4

He that observeth
<08104> (8802)

the wind
<07307>

shall not sow
<02232> (8799)_;

and he that regardeth
<07200> (8802)

the clouds
<05645>

shall not reap
<07114> (8799)_.

11:5

As thou knowest
<03045> (8802)

not what [is] the way
<01870>

of the spirit
<07307>_,

[nor] how the bones
<06106>

[do grow] in the womb
<0990>

of her that is with child
<04392>_:

even so thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not the works
<04639>

of God
<0430>

who maketh
<06213> (8799)

all.
