²² “While the earth ^(A)remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And ^(B)day and night
Shall not cease.”

³ If the clouds are full of rain,
They empty themselves upon the earth;
And if a tree falls to the south or the north,
In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.
⁴ He who observes the wind will not sow,
And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

⁵ As ^(F)you do not know what is the way of the ^[a]wind,
^(G)Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.
⁶ In the morning sow your seed,
And in the evening do not withhold your hand;
For you do not know which will prosper,
Either this or that,
Or whether both alike will be good.
