Ecclesiastes 12

1RememberH2142 also thy Creator in the daysH3117 of thy youthH979, or ever the evilH7451 daysH3117 comeH935, and the yearsH8141 drawH5060 nigh, when thou shalt sayH559, I have noH3808 pleasureH2656 in them; 2or everH7725 the sunH8121, and the lightH216, and the moonH3394, and the starsH3556, be darkenedH2821, and the cloudsH5645 returnH7725 afterH310 the rainH1653: 3in the dayH3117 when the keepersH376 of the houseH1004 shall trembleH2111, and the strongH2428 menH376 shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease becauseH3588 they are fewH4592, and thoseH376 that lookH7200 outH7200 of the windowsH699 be darkenedH2821, 4and the doorH1817 shall be shutH5462 in the streetH7784; when the soundH6963 of the grindingH2913 is lowH8217, and one shall riseH6965 upH6965 at the voiceH6963 of a birdH6833, and allH3605 the daughtersH1323 of musicH7892 shall be broughtH6965 lowH8217; 5yeaH3588, they shall be afraidH3372 of that whichH1004 is highH1364, and terrorsH2849 shall be in the wayH1870; and the almondH8247 treeH8247 shall blossom, and the grasshopperH2284 shall be a burdenH413, and the caper-berry shall failH6565: becauseH3588 manH120 goeth to his longH5769 homeH1004, and the mournersH5594 goH1980 aboutH413 the streetsH7784: 6or ever the silverH3701 cordH2256 be loosed, or the goldenH2091 bowlH1543 be brokenH7665, or the pitcherH3537 be brokenH7665 at the fountain, or the wheelH1534 brokenH7665 at the cisternH953; 7and the dustH6083 returnH7725 to the earthH776 as it was, and the spiritH7307 returnH7725 unto GodH430 who gaveH5414 it. 8VanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892, saith the PreacherH6953; allH3605 is vanityH1892. 9And furtherH5750, because the PreacherH6953 was wiseH2450, he stillH5750 taughtH3925 the peopleH5971 knowledgeH1847; yea, he ponderedH2713, and sought outH2713, and set in order manyH7235 proverbsH4912. 10The PreacherH6953 soughtH1245 to findH4672 outH1245 acceptable wordsH1697, and that whichH1697 was writtenH3789 uprightly, even wordsH1697 of truthH571. 11The wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450 are as goads, and as nails well fastenedH5414 are the wordsH1697 of the mastersH1167 of assemblies, whichH1697 are givenH5414 from one shepherdH7462. 12And furthermore, my sonH1121, be admonished: of makingH369 manyH7235 booksH5612 there is noH369 endH7093; and muchH7235 studyH3854 is a weariness of the fleshH1320. 13This is the endH5490 of the matterH1697; allH3605 hath been heardH8085: fearH3372 GodH430, and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687; for this is the wholeH3605 dutyH1697 of manH120. 14For GodH430 shall bringH935 everyH3605 workH4639 intoH935 judgmentH4941, with everyH3605 hiddenH5956 thingH3588, whetherH518 it be goodH2896 or whetherH518 it be evilH7451.
