Ecclesiastes 11:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 11
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.
7 Suave ciertamente es la luz, y agradable á los ojos ver el sol:
8 Mas si el hombre viviere muchos años, y en todos ellos hubiere gozado alegría; si después trajere á la memoria los días de las tinieblas, que serán muchos, todo lo que [le] habrá pasado, [dirá haber sido] vanidad.
9 Alégrate, mancebo, en tu mocedad, y tome placer tu corazón en los días de tu juventud; y anda en los caminos de tu corazón, y en la vista de tus ojos: mas sabe, que sobre todas estas cosas te traerá Dios á juicio.
