Ecclesiastes 11:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

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

³ There 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.

⁴ But there are some things that you cannot be sure of. You must take a chance. If you wait for perfect weather, you will never plant your seeds. If you are afraid that every cloud will bring rain, you will never harvest your crops.
