Ecclesiastes 11:5 in context
- 3If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth;
and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north,
in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be. - 4He who observes the wind won’t sow;
and he who regards the clouds won’t reap. - 5As you don’t know what is the way of the wind,
nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;
even so you don’t know the work of God who does all. - 6In the morning sow your seed,
and in the evening don’t withhold your hand;
for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that,
or whether they both will be equally good. - 7Truly the light is sweet,
and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
