11 Do good wherever you go.^[a] After a while, the good you do will come back to you.

²Invest what you have in several different things.^[b] You don’t know what bad things might happen on earth.

³There are some things you can be sure of. If clouds are full of rain, they will pour water on the earth. If a tree falls—to the south or to the north—then it will stay where it falls.
