Ec Eclesiastes, capítulo Eclesiastes, capítulo 11
O agricultor que observa a direção do vento sabe quando não deve semear, e, observando as nuvens, sabe quando não deve colher.11:4 Essas afirmações refletem o clima local. Os agricultores não semeavam quando ventos do leste sopravam, pois traziam ar seco do deserto. Os ventos do oeste traziam chuva e eram bons para semear. O oposto valia para a colheita — o ideal era tempo seco, não nuvens carregadas de chuva. O que se incentiva aqui é o tema geral da sabedoria por meio da observação.
