Ecclesiastes 11:1-2

Cast Your Bread upon the Waters

1 kCast your bread upon the waters,
lfor you will find it after many days.
2 mGive a portion to nseven, or even to eight,
ofor you know not what disaster may happen on earth.

Isaiah 58:7-12

7Is it not pto share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
qand not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 rThen shall your light break forth like the dawn,
sand your healing shall spring up speedily;
tyour righteousness shall go before you;
uthe glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, β€˜Here I am.’
If you take away vthe yoke from your midst,
wthe pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 xif you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
ythen shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
11And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be zlike a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.
12 aaAnd your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to dwell in.
