Ecclesiastes 11:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 11
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.
6 Pela manhã semeia tua semente, e à tarde não retires tua mão; pois tu não sabes qual [tentativa] dará certo, se uma, se outra, ou se ambas [as tentativas] serão boas.
7 Certamente a luz é agradável, e ver o sol é bom para os olhos.
8 Mesmo se o homem viver muitos anos, [e] em todos eles se alegrar, ele também deve se lembrar dos dias de trevas, porque serão muitos. Tudo o que acontece é futilidade.
