1 Put your money into trade across the ocean. After a while you will earn something from it.
2 Give shares of what you earn to a lot of people. After all, you don't know what great trouble might come on the land.
3 Clouds that are full of water pour rain down on the earth. A tree might fall to the south or the north. It will stay in the place where it falls.
4 Anyone who keeps on watching the wind won't plant seeds. Anyone who keeps looking at the clouds won't gather crops.
5 You don't know the path the wind takes. You don't know how a baby is made inside its mother. So you can't understand how God works either. He made everything.
