Ecclesiastes 11:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Send forth your bread upon the face of the waters;after a long time you may find it again.

2. Make seven, or even eight portions;you know not what misfortune may come upon the earth.

3. When the clouds are full,they pour out rain upon the earth.Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north,wherever it falls, there shall it lie.
