New American Standard Bible 1995
Ecclesiastes 11:4-6
4He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap. 5Just as you do not 1know 2the path of the wind and 3how bones are formed in the womb of the 4pregnant woman, so you do not 5know the activity of God who makes all things.
6Sow your seed 6in the morning and do not 7be idle in the evening, for you do not know whether 8morning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good.
