If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.

This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૧૧:૩
જો વાદળાં પાણીથી ભરેલાં હોય, તો તે વરસાદ લાવે છે, જો કોઈ ઝાડ દક્ષિણ તરફ કે ઉત્તર તરફ પડે, તો તે જ્યાં પડે ત્યાં જ પડ્યું રહે છે.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक ११:३
यदि बादल जलभरे हैं, तब उसको भूमि पर उण्डेल देते हैं; और वृक्ष चाहे दक्षिण की ओर गिरे या उत्तर की ओर, तो भी जिस स्थान पर वृक्ष गिरेगा, वहीं पड़ा रहेगा।

In context

1Cast your bread on the waters; for you shall find it after many days.

2Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.

3If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.

4He who observes the wind won’t sow; and he who regards the clouds won’t reap.

5As you don’t know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.
