Whoever watches the wind will not sow;
    whoever watches the clouds will not reap.
Just as you do not know how the path of the wind[a] goes,
    nor how the bones of a fetus form in a mother’s womb,

    and do not let your hands rest in the evening,
for you do not know what will prosper—
    whether this or that, or whether both of them alike will succeed.
