  • Eccl 12:1-7 : 1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of adversity come and the years arrive when you say, 'I find no pleasure in them.' 2 Before the sun, light, moon, and stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain. 3 On the day when those who watch over the house tremble, the strong men stoop, and the women who grind cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim. 4 The doors to the street are shut, the grinding fades, one rises at the chirp of a bird, and all the daughters of song are silenced. 5 They are also afraid of heights and dangers along the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and desire fails, for the man is going to his eternal home, and mourners walk around in the streets. 6 Before the silver cord snaps, the golden bowl is broken, the jar is shattered at the spring, and the wheel is broken at the well. 7 And the dust returns to the earth as it once was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
