1. Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it.
2. Give portions to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what disaster may happen upon the earth.
3. If the clouds are full, they empty out rain upon the earth. Whether a tree falls to south or north, the tree lies wherever it falls.
4. Whoever keeps watching the wind will not sow and whoever gazes at the clouds will not reap.
5. Just as you do not know how the spirit passes into the bones in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of God who makes all things.
