Directions for charity.1 ¶ Castºª thy breadº uponº² the waters:º for² thou shalt findºª it after manyº days.º 2 Giveºª a portionº to seven,º and also² to eight;º for² thou knowestºª not² what² evilº shall be² upon² the earth.º 3 If² the cloudsº be fullºª of rain,º they emptyºª [themselves] upon² the earth:º and if² the treeº fallºª toward the south,º or² toward the north,º in the placeº where the treeº falleth,ºª² there² it² shall be.¹ª 4 He that observethºª the windº shall not² sow;ºª and he that regardethºª the cloudsº shall not² reap.ºª 5 As² thou knowestºª not² what² [is] the wayº of the spirit,º [nor] how the bonesº [do grow] in the wombº of her that is with child:º even so² thou knowestºª not²² the worksº of Godº who² makethºª² all.² 6 In the morningº sowºª² thy seed,º and in the eveningº withhold¹ª² not² thine hand:º for² thou knowestºª not² whetherº² shall prosper,ºª either this² or² that,² or whether² they bothº [shall be] alikeº good.º [1] Dt 15:7, 10; Ps 41:1; 126:5; Pv 11:18, 24; 19:17; 22:9; Ec 11:6; Is 32:8, 20; Mt 10:13, 42; 25:40; Lk 14:14; 2Co 9:6; Ga 6:8; He 6:10.
