Ecclesiastes 11:5
Parallel Strong's
Berean Study Bible
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones are formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, How—bones in the womb of the full one, So thou knowest not the work of God who maketh the whole.

As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
