5. Formal Translation Just as you do not know the way of the wind, nor how bones take shape in the womb of the expectant mother, so you do not know the work of God {Elohim, Mysterious Creator} who makes all things. |
5. Dynamic Translation In the same way you cannot explain the course of the wind, or how bones develop in a pregnant woman, so you cannot know what God {Elohim, Divine Craftsman} is doing in all things. |
