As you don’t know what is the way of the wind,
nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;
even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Ecclesiastes 11:5 in context
Ecclesiastes 11:2–8
2
Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight;
for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.
3
If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth;
and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north,
in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.
4
He who observes the wind won’t sow;
and he who regards the clouds won’t reap.
5
Selected verse
As you don’t know what is the way of the wind,
nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;
even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.
6
In the morning sow your seed,
and in the evening don’t withhold your hand;
for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that,
or whether they both will be equally good.
7
Truly the light is sweet,
and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
8
Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all;
but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many.
All that comes is vanity.
