1Cast thy bread vpon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many dayes. 2Giue a portion to seuen and also to eight; for thou knowest noc what euill shall be vpon the earth. 3If the clouds be full of raine, they emptie themselues vpon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the South, or toward the North, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4He that obserueth the wind, shall not sow: and hee that regardeth the clouds, shall not reape.
