1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days.
2 Give a portion to seven and even to eight, for thou dost not know what evil shall come upon the earth.
3 If the clouds are full of rain, they shall empty themselves upon the earth; and if the tree falls toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall remain.
4 He that observes the wind shall not sow, and he that regards the clouds shall not reap.
