Ecclesiastes 11:2

1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.

Divide your portion among seven, or even eight, for you do not know what disaster may befall the land.

3 If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain upon the earth; whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.

4 He who watches the wind will fail to sow, and he who observes the clouds will fail to reap.
