Ecclesiastes 12:2-7

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.
