Eccles. 11:1-2
11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters,
for you will find it after many days.
2 Give a portion to seven, or even to eight,
for you know not what disaster may happen on earth.
for you will find it after many days.
2 Give a portion to seven, or even to eight,
for you know not what disaster may happen on earth.

Solomon's statement, "Cast your bread upon waters, ..." is very strange and difficult for me to understand. If I didn't rely on a commentator, I would not have any idea what he is saying and then I wonder if the commentator really knows himself. That's one of my reasons I don't like to read from Ecclesiastes and only remembering certain passages I understand. I do know that God chose to include this writing in the Bible and he must have done so because I need it. Knowing this, I still find it difficult to read over and over and not understand what is being communicated. Maybe it's because I'm not trying???
