1 Send your grain overseas,for after many days you will get a return.
2 Divide your merchandise among seven or even eight investments,for you do not know what calamity may happen on earth.
3 If the clouds are full of rain, they will empty themselves on the earth,and whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, the tree will lie wherever it falls.
4 He who watches the wind will not sow,and he who observes the clouds will not reap.
5 Just as you do not know the path of the wind,or how the bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman,so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.
6 Sow your seed in the morning,and do not stop working until the evening;for you do not know which activity will succeed – whether this one or that one, or whether both will prosper equally.
7 Light is sweet,and it is pleasant for a person to see the sun.
