and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap.

or how bones develop in[a] the womb of a pregnant woman,
so also you don’t know the work of God who makes everything.(A)

and at evening do not let your hand rest,
because you don’t know which will succeed,
whether one or the other,
or if both of them will be equally good.
