Ecclesiastes 11:1-3 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Cast your bread over running waters. For, after a long time, you shall find it again.

2. Give a portion to seven, and indeed even to eight. For you do not know what evil may be upon the earth in the future.

3. If the clouds have been filled, they will pour forth rain upon the earth. If a tree falls to the south, or to the north, or to whatever direction it may fall, there it shall remain.
