Ecclesiastes 11:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 11
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.
7 La lumière est douce, et il est agréable aux yeux de voir le soleil.
8 Si donc un homme vit beaucoup d’années, qu’il se réjouisse pendant toutes ces années, et qu’il pense aux jours de ténèbres qui seront nombreux; tout ce qui arrivera est vanité.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
