Ecclesiastes 11:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 If the [a]clouds be full, they will pour forth rain upon the earth: and if the [b]tree do fall toward the South, or toward the North, in the place that the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4 He that observeth the [c]wind shall not sow, and he that regardeth the clouds, shall not reap.
5 As thou knowest not which is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the work of God that worketh all.
