Bible Quote May 16th Ecclesiastes 11:5
“As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.” - Ecclesiastes 11:5
===
Many of the theologians who until recently claimed King David was not a historical figure, have declared that Solomon did not write Ecclesiastes. The work fits well with Song of Songs, Proverbs and some Psalms. It is likely that some additions have been made to the work, over time. The wisdom within the text is extraordinary.
Ecclesiastes, like some proverbs, has an author that seems to be a significant nom de plume. What is in a name? Kohelet literally means "Assembler."
The verse is part of a group beginning at 9:1 and ending at 11:6 on the theme "Man does not know what will come after him." In modern terms, we know how the body is formed in a mother's womb. We also know the paths of wind. But, that is not the point of the verse.
