6. Formal Translation In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not let your hand rest, for you do not know which will prosper—this or that—or whether both will be alike good. |
6. Dynamic Translation Plant your seed in the morning, and keep working through the evening, because you cannot know which venture will succeed—this one or that—or whether both will turn out well together. |
