Ecclesiastes 11:3 If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie. [4] He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
This passage begins with a seeming common sense observation on the preacher’s part. It actually reminds me of that odd question one might get asked: If a tree falls in the middle of the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?
