Ecclesiastes 11:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 Just as you do not know the path of the wind,[a] or how bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of God, who makes everything.
6 In the morning sow your seed, and at evening do not let your hand rest, for you do not know which effort will succeed, this one or that, or if both of them will be equally good.
7 Light is sweet, and it is good for eyes to see the sun.

Ecclesiastes 11:5-7
New International Version
5 As you do not know the path of the wind,(A)
or how the body is formed[a] in a mother’s womb,(B)
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
6 Sow your seed in the morning,
and at evening let your hands not be idle,(C)
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well.
Remember Your Creator While Young
7 Light is sweet,
and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.(D)
