Ecclesiastes 11:1-4
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
1
Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it after many days.
2
Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.
3
If the clouds are full, they pour out rain on the earth; and whether a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever the tree falls, there it lies.
4
One who watches the wind will not sow and one who looks at the clouds will not harvest.
King James Version
Chapter 11
1
Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
2
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3
If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4
He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
1
Send your bread on the surface of the water,
for after many days you may find it.
2
Give a portion to seven or even to eight,
for you don’t know what disaster may happen on earth.
3
If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain on the earth;
whether a tree falls to the south or the north,
the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
4
One who watches the wind will not sow,
and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
1
Send your grain across the seas,
and in time, profits will flow back to you.
2
But divide your investments among many places,
for you do not know what risks might lie ahead.
3
When clouds are heavy, the rains come down.
Whether a tree falls north or south, it stays where it falls.
4
Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.
If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
1
Cast your bread upon the waters,

2
Give a portion to seven, or even to eight,
for you know not what disaster may happen on earth.
3
If the clouds are full of rain,
they empty themselves on the earth,
and if a tree falls to the south or to the north,
in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
4
He who observes the wind will not sow,
and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
New International Version
Chapter 11
1
Ship your grain across the sea;
after many days you may receive a return.
2
Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight;
you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
3
If clouds are full of water,
they pour rain on the earth.
Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north,
in the place where it falls, there it will lie.
4
Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
New King James Version

For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.
3
If the clouds are full of rain,
They empty

And if a tree falls to the south or the north,
In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.
4
He who observes the wind will not sow,
And he who regards the clouds will not reap.
