3 It is always true that when clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Similarly, wherever a tree falls on the ground, that is where it will remain.
4 If farmers see in what direction the wind is blowing, they will know whether it is wise at that time to plant things or not.

5 We do not know where the wind comes from or where it goes, and we do not know how bodies are formed in women's wombs. Similarly SIM, God is the one who made everything, and we cannot fully understand what God does.
