Ecclesiastes 11:5

← Ecclesiastes 11:4 Ecclesiastes 11:5 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 11:6 →
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.
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good.
