Ecclesiastes 11:4 in Context — Ecclesiastes 11
2 Reparte á siete, y aun á ocho: porque no sabes el mal que vendrá sobre la tierra.
3 Si las nubes fueren llenas de agua, sobre la tierra la derramarán: y si el árbol cayere al mediodía, ó al norte, al lugar que el árbol cayere, allí quedará.
4 El que al viento mira, no sembrará; y el que mira á las nubes, no segará.
5 Como tú no sabes cuál es el camino del viento, ó cómo [se crían] los huesos en el vientre de la mujer preñada, así ignoras la obra de Dios, el cual hace todas las cosas.
6 Por la mañana siembra tu simiente, y á la tarde no dejes reposar tu mano: porque tú no sabes cuál es lo mejor, si esto ó lo otro, ó si ambas á dos cosas son buenas.
