Ecclesiastes 11:4 in context

Ecclesiastes 11:1–7

1

Cast your bread on the waters;

for you shall find it after many days.

2

Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight;

for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.

3

If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth;

and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north,

in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.

4
Selected verse

He who observes the wind won’t sow;

and he who regards the clouds won’t reap.

5

As you don’t know what is the way of the wind,

nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;

even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.

6

In the morning sow your seed,

and in the evening don’t withhold your hand;

for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that,

or whether they both will be equally good.

7

Truly the light is sweet,

and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
