Cast Your Bread upon the Waters

1 iCast your bread upon the waters,
jfor you will find it after many days.
2 kGive a portion to lseven, or even to eight,
mfor you know not what disaster may happen on earth.

Isaiah 58:7-11

7Is it not nto share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
oand not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 pThen shall your light break forth like the dawn,
qand your healing shall spring up speedily;
ryour righteousness shall go before you;
sthe 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, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away tthe yoke from your midst,
uthe pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 vif you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
wthen 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 xlike a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.

Daniel 4:27
