Ecclesiastes 12:5-9

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. 8VanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892, saith the Preacher; all is vanityH1892.

9And further, because the Preacher wasH1961 wiseH2450, he stillH5750 taughtH3925 the peopleH5971 knowledgeH1847; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order manyH7235 proverbsH4912.
