Ecclesiastes 11:5-7
English Standard Version
5 As you do not know the way (A)the spirit comes to (B)the bones in the womb[a] of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.
6 In the morning sow your seed, and at evening (C)withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.
7 Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to (D)see the sun.
