Ecclesiastes 11:6 Context
4He that obserueth the wind, shall not sow: and hee that regardeth the clouds, shall not reape. 5As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones doe growe in the wombe of her that is with child: euen so thou knowest not the workes of God who maketh all. 6In the morning sowe thy seede, and in the euening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. 7¶ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing is it for the eyes to behold the sunne. 8But if a man liue many yeeres, and reioyce in them all; yet let him remember the dayes of darkenesse, for they shall be many. All that commeth is vanitie.
