In context
1Send forth thy bread upon the face of the water: For thou shalt find it after many days.
2Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; For thou knowest not what evil there shall be upon the earth.
— Ecclesiastes 11:3 —
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 hidden in the womb of a pregnant woman, So thou shalt not know the works of God, Even all things whatsoever he shall do.
