Ecclesiastes 12:3-7
3in the dayH3117 when the keepers of the houseH1004 shall trembleH2111, and the strong menH376 shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are fewH4592, and those that lookH7200 out of the windowsH699 shall be darkened,
4and the doorsH1817 shall be shutH5462 in the streetH7784; when the soundH6963 of the grinding is lowH8217, and one shall riseH6965 up at the voiceH6963 of a birdH6833, and all the daughtersH1323 of music shall be brought lowH8217;
5yea, they shall be afraidH3372 of that which is highH1364, and terrors shall be in the wayH1870; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopperH2284 shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because manH120 goeth to his everlasting home, and the mourners goH1980 about the streetsH7784:
6before the silverH3701 cordH2256 is loosed, or the golden bowlH1543 is brokenH7665, or the pitcher is brokenH7665 at the fountain, or the wheelH1534 brokenH7665 at the cisternH953,
7and the dustH6083 returneth to the earthH776 as it wasH1961, and the spiritH7307 returneth unto GodH430 who gaveH5414 it.
