Ecclesiastes 11:2
Divide your portion among seven, or even eight, for you do not know what disaster may befall the land.
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.
Give a portion to seven, yea, even unto eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
