Ecclesiastes 11:4
| ← Ecclesiastes 11:3 | Ecclesiastes 11:4 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 11:5 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
|
He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
|
As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
