2Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil there shall be upon the earth.
3If the clouds be filled with rain, they pour it out upon the earth: and if a tree fall southward, or if it fall northward, in the place where the tree shall fall, there it shall be.
4He that observes the wind sows not; and he that looks at the clouds will not reap.
5Among whom none knows what is the way of the wind: as the bones are hid in the womb of a pregnant woman, so thou shalt not know the works of God, even all things whatsoever he shall do.
6In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening let not thine hand be slack: for thou knowest not what sort shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether both shall be good alike.
7Moreover the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.
