1. Send forth thy bread on the face of the waters, For in the multitude of the days thou dost find it.
2. Give a portion to seven, and even to eight, For thou knowest not what evil is on the earth.
3. If the thick clouds are full of rain, On the earth they empty [themselves]; And if a tree doth fall in the south or to the north, The place where the tree falleth, there it is.
4. Whoso is observing the wind soweth not, And whoso is looking on the thick clouds reapeth not.
