Ecclesiastes 12:5-9

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.
