Ecclesiastes 11:1-3

Common English Bible

Take risks; life is short

11 Send your bread out on the water because, in the course of time, you may find it again. ² Give a portion to seven people, even to eight: you don’t know what disaster may come upon the land. ³ If clouds fill up, they will empty out rain on the earth. If a tree falls, whether to the south or to the north, wherever it falls, there it will lie.
