“In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”
The exhortation to sow in the morning and not to withhold effort in the evening, for humans do not know which will prosper (the morning sowing or evening), recommends persistent action despite ignorance of outcomes. The dual action—morning and evening sowing—suggests that one should labor continuously, trusting some fruit will result though specific success cannot be predicted. This verse balances uncertainty with the call to ongoing effort.
