    1Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days do not come, nor the years draw near when you will say, I have no pleasure in them;

    3In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows are darkened,

    5Also when they are afraid of what is high, and fears are in the way, and the almond tree blossoms, and the grasshopper is a burden, and desire fails: because man goes to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets.
