Ecclesiastes 12:5-9

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.
