God's Word Translation

Ecclesiastes 11:1-5 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. Throw your bread on the surface of the water, because you will find it again after many days.

2. Divide what you have into seven parts, or even into eight, because you don’t know what disaster may happen on earth.

3. If the clouds are full of rain, they will let it pour down on the earth. If a tree falls north or south, the tree will remain where it fell.

4. Whoever watches the wind will never plant. Whoever looks at the clouds will never harvest.

5. Just as you don’t know how the breath of life enters the limbs of a child within its mother’s womb, you also don’t understand how God, who made everything, works.
