Ecclesiastes 11:4 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

When the clouds are full of water, it rains. When the wind blows down a tree, it lies where it falls. Don’t sit there watching the wind. Do your own work. Don’t stare at the clouds. Get on with your life.

He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap.

Those who wait for perfect weather will never plant seeds; those who look at every cloud will never harvest crops.

He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.

He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

He who watches the wind [waiting for all conditions to be perfect] will not sow [seed], and he who looks at the clouds will not reap [a harvest].

Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.

He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
