Ecclesiastes 12

1And rememberH2142 thy Creator in the daysH3117 of thy youthH979, before the evilH7451 daysH3117 comeH935, and the yearsH8141 draw nigh, of which thou shalt sayH559, I have no pleasureH2656 in them; 2before the sunH8121, and the lightH216, and the moonH3394, and the starsH3556, be darkened, and the cloudsH5645 returnH7725 after the rainH1653; 3in the dayH3117 when the keepers of the houseH1004 trembleH2111, and the strong menH376 bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are fewH4592, and those that lookH7200 out of the windowsH699 are darkened, 4and the doorsH1817 are shutH5462 toward the streetH7784; when the soundH6963 of the grinding is subdued, and they riseH6965 up at the voiceH6963 of the birdH6833, and all the daughtersH1323 of songH7892 are brought lowH8217; 5they are alsoH1571 afraidH3372 of what is highH1364, and terrors are in the wayH1870, and the almondH8247 is despised, and the grasshopperH2284 is a burden, and the caper-berry is without effect; (for manH120 goeth to his age-long home, and the mourners goH1980 about the streetsH7784;) 6— before the silverH3701 cordH2256 be loosed, or the golden bowlH1543 be brokenH7665, or the pitcher be shatteredH7665 at the fountain, or the wheelH1534 be brokenH7665 at the cisternH953; 7and the dustH6083 returnH7725 to the earthH776 as it wasH1961, and the spiritH7307 returnH7725 unto 1GodH430 who gaveH5414 it. 8VanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892, saith the Preacher: all is vanityH1892. 9And moreover, because the Preacher wasH1961 wiseH2450, he stillH5750 taughtH3925 the peopleH5971 knowledgeH1847; and he pondered, and sought out, [and] set in order manyH7235 proverbsH4912. 10The Preacher soughtH1245 to findH4672 out acceptable wordsH1697; and that which was writtenH3789 is upright, wordsH1697 of truthH571. 11The wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450 are as goads, and the collections [of them] as nails fastened in: they are givenH5414 from oneH259 shepherdH7462. 12And besides, my sonH1121, be warnedH2094 by them: of making manyH7235 booksH5612 there is no endH7093, and muchH7235 study is a weariness of the fleshH1320. 13Let us hearH8085 the endH5490 of the whole matterH1697: FearH3372 2GodH430, and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687; for this is the whole of manH120. 14For 3GodH430 shall bringH935 every workH4639 into judgmentH4941, with every secret thing, whether it be goodH2896 or whether it be evilH7451.
