Ecclesiastes 11:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 One who continues to watch the wind will never sow,
and one who keeps staring at the clouds will never reap.
5 Just as you do not know the path of the wind
or how the body is formed in a woman’s womb,
so you do not know the work of God,
the Creator of all.
6 In the morning sow your seed,[a]
and do not cease your labor until evening.
For you do not know which of the sowings will succeed
or whether all alike will turn out well.
