Ecclésiaste 12

1Remember^H2142 also thy Creator^H1254 in the days^H3117 of thy youth^H979, before the evil^H7451 days^H3117 come^H935, and the years^H8141 draw nigh^H5060, when thou shalt say^H559, I have no pleasure^H2656 in them; 2before the sun^H8121, and the light^H216, and the moon^H3394, and the stars^H3556, are darkened^H2821, and the clouds^H5645 return^H7725 after^H310 the rain^H1653; 3in the day^H3117 when the keepers^H8104 of the house^H1004 shall tremble^H2111, and the strong^H2428 men^H582 shall bow^H5791 themselves, and the grinders^H2912 cease^H988 because they are few^H4591, and those that look out^H7200 of the windows^H699 shall be darkened^H2821, 4and the doors^H1817 shall be shut^H5462 in the street^H7784; when the sound^H6963 of the grinding^H2913 is low^H8217, and one shall rise up^H6965 at the voice^H6963 of a bird^H6833, and all the daughters^H1323 of music^H7892 shall be brought low^H7817; 5yea, they shall be afraid^H3372 of that which is high^H1364, and terrors^H2849 shall be in the way^H1870; and the almond-tree^H8247 shall blossom^H5006, and the grasshopper^H2284 shall be a burden^H5445, and desire^H35 shall fail^H6565; because man^H120 goeth^H1980 to his everlasting^H5769 home^H1004, and the mourners^H5594 go about^H5437 the streets^H7784: 6before^H3808 the silver^H3701 cord^H2256 is loosed^H7576, or the golden^H2091 bowl^H1543 is broken^H7533, or the pitcher^H3537 is broken^H7533 at the fountain^H4002, or the wheel^H1534 broken^H7665 at the cistern^H953, 7and the dust^H6083 returneth^H7725 to the earth^H776 as it was, and the spirit^H7307 returneth^H7725 unto God^H430 who gave^H5414 it. 8Vanity^H1892 of vanities^H1892, saith^H559 the Preacher^H6953; all is vanity^H1892. 9And further^H3148, because the Preacher^H6953 was wise^H2450, he still taught^H3925 the people^H5971 knowledge^H1847; yea, he pondered^H239, and sought out^H2713, and set in order^H8626 many^H7235 proverbs^H4912. 10The Preacher^H6953 sought^H1245 to find out^H4672 acceptable^H2656 words^H1697, and that which was written^H3789 uprightly^H3476, even words^H1697 of truth^H571. 11The words^H1697 of the wise^H2450 are as goads^H1861; and as nails^H4930 well fastened^H5193 are the words of the masters^H1167 of assemblies^H627, which are given^H5414 from one^H259 shepherd^H7462. 12And furthermore^H3148, my son^H1121, be admonished^H2094: of^H1992 making^H6213 many^H7235 books^H5612 there is no end^H7093; and much^H7235 study^H3854 is a weariness^H3024 of the flesh^H1320. 13This is the end^H5490 of the matter^H1697; all hath been heard^H8085: fear^H3372 God^H430, and keep^H8104 his commandments^H4687; for this is the whole duty of man^H120. 14For God^H430 will bring^H935 every work^H4639 into judgment^H4941, with every hidden thing^H5956, whether it be good^H2896, or whether it be evil^H7451.
