Ecclesiastes 11:4-6
4He who watchesH8104 the windH7307 will not sowH2232 and he who looksH7200 at the cloudsH5645 will not reapH7114. 5JustH3512 as you do not 1knowH3045 2the pathH1870 of the windH7307 and 3how bonesH6106 are formed in the wombH990 of the 4pregnantH4392 womanH4392, soH3602 you do not 5knowH3045 the activityH4639 of GodH430 whoH834 makesH6213 allH3605 thingsH3605.
6SowH2232 your seedH2233 6in the morningH1242 and do not 7be idleH5117H3027 in the eveningH6153, for you do not knowH3045 whetherH335 8morningH2088 orH176 evening sowing will succeedH3787, or whetherH518 bothH8147 of them alikeH259 will be goodH2896.
