Ecclesiastes 11
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref Put out your bread on the face of the waters; for after a long time it will come back to you again.
2 Ref Give a part to seven or even to eight, because you have no knowledge of the evil which will be on the earth.
3 Ref If the clouds are full of rain, they send it down on the earth; and if a tree comes down to the south, or the north, in whatever place it comes down, there it will be.
King James Version (KJV)
1 Ref Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
2 Ref Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3 Ref If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon 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.
