Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

¹Cast thy bread vpon the waters: for after many daies thou shalt finde it.

²Giue a portion to seuen, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what euill shalbe vpon ye earth.

³If the clouds be full, they wil powre forth raine vpon the earth: and if the tree doe fall toward the South, or toward the North, in the place that the tree falleth, there it shalbe.

⁴He that obserueth ye winde, shall not sow, and he that regardeth the cloudes, shall not reape.

⁵As thou knowest not which is ye way of the spirit, nor how the bones doe growe in the wombe of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the worke of God that worketh all.

⁶In the morning sowe thy seede, and in the euening let not thine hand rest: for thou knowest not whither shall prosper, this or that, or whether both shalbe a like good.
