Ecclesiastes 11:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

11 Send out your bread upon the waters,
    for after many days you will get it back.
² Divide your means seven ways, or even eight,
    for you do not know what disaster may happen on earth.
³ When clouds are full,
    they empty rain on the earth;
whether a tree falls to the south or to the north,
    in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
