Ecclesiastes 11:3 in Context — Ecclesiastes 11
1 Lança teu pão sobre as águas, porque depois de muitos dias tu o encontrarás.
2 Dá uma parte a sete, e até a oito; porque não sabes que mal haverá sobre a terra.
3 Se as nuvens estiverem cheias, há chuva sobre a terra; e se a árvore cair, seja para ou sul ou seja para o norte, no lugar em que a árvore cair, ali ela ficará.
4 Quem ficar dando atenção ao vento, nunca semeará; e o que olhar para as nuvens nunca ceifará.
5 Assim como tu não sabes qual é o caminho do vento, [nem] como se formam os ossos [do feto] no ventre da grávida, assim também tu não sabes a obra de Deus, que faz todas as coisas.
