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.
