Just as you do not know how the spirit passes into the bones in the womb of a pregnant woman,
    so you do not know the work of God who makes all things.

In the morning sow your seed,
    and in the evening do not let your hand be idle,
for you do not know if this or that will succeed,
    or if both will prosper together.

Light is sweet,
    and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.

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.

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

Light is sweet,
    and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.(D)
