# that tries to shepherd the wind

The author speaks of everything that people do as being useless as if they were trying to control the wind. See how you translated a similar phrase in [Ecclesiastes 1:14](../01/14.md). Alternate translation: "that is as useless as trying to control the wind" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
