New Century Version

Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 New Century Version (NCV)

1. Invest what you have,because after a while you will get a return.

2. Invest what you have in several different businesses,because you don’t know what disasters might happen.

3. If clouds are full of rain,they will shower on the earth.A tree can fall to the north or south,but it will stay where it falls.

4. Those who wait for perfect weatherwill never plant seeds;those who look at every cloudwill never harvest crops.

5. You don’t know where the wind will blow,and you don’t know how a baby grows inside the mother.In the same way, you don’t know what God is doing,or how he created everything.

6. Plant early in the morning,and work until evening,because you don’t know if this or that will succeed.They might both do well.
