Ecclesiastes 11:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Send forth your bread upon the face of the waters;after a long time you may find it again.

2. Make seven, or even eight portions;you know not what misfortune may come upon the earth.

3. When the clouds are full,they pour out rain upon the earth.Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north,wherever it falls, there shall it lie.

4. One who pays heed to the wind will never sow,and one who watches the clouds will never reap.

5. Just as you do not know how the life breathenters the human frame in the mother’s womb,So you do not know the work of God,who is working in everything.
