Ecclesiastes 11:4 in Context — Ecclesiastes 11
2 donnes-en une part à sept et même à huit, car tu ne sais pas quel malheur peut arriver sur la terre.
3 Quand les nuages sont pleins de pluie, ils la répandent sur la terre; et si un arbre tombe, au midi ou au nord, il reste à la place où il est tombé.
4 Celui qui observe le vent ne sèmera point, et celui qui regarde les nuages ne moissonnera point.
5 Comme tu ne sais pas quel est le chemin du vent, ni comment se forment les os dans le ventre de la femme enceinte, tu ne connais pas non plus l’œuvre de Dieu qui fait tout.
6 Dès le matin sème ta semence, et le soir ne laisse pas reposer ta main; car tu ne sais point ce qui réussira, ceci ou cela, ou si l’un et l’autre sont également bons.
