“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.”
The reflection that just as humans do not know how the spirit enters the bones in the womb, so they do not know God's work, who makes all things, emphasizes the hiddenness of creation's fundamental processes. The analogy to fetal development—the formation of life—suggests that mystery surrounds existence even at its genesis. This verse recommends humility about understanding God's methods.
