Ecclesiastes 11:3-7 New English Translation (NET)

3. If the clouds are full of rain, they will empty themselves on the earth,and whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, the tree will lie wherever it falls.

4. He who watches the wind will not sow,and he who observes the clouds will not reap.

5. Just as you do not know the path of the wind,or how the bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman,so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

6. Sow your seed in the morning,and do not stop working until the evening;for you do not know which activity will succeed – whether this one or that one, or whether both will prosper equally.

7. Light is sweet,and it is pleasant for a person to see the sun.
