< Ecclesiastes 12 >

1 And remember creator your in [the] days of youth your until that not they will come [the] days of evil and they will arrive years which you will say not [belongs] to me in them pleasure.
Remember then thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say: 'I have no pleasure in them';
2 Until that not it will become dark the sun and the light and the moon and the stars and they will return the clouds after the rain.
Before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;
3 In the day when they will tremble [the] keepers of the house and they will bend themselves [the] people of strength and they will cease the [female] grinders for they have become few and they will grow dim the [women who] look in the windows.
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out shall be darkened in the windows,
4 And they will be shut up [the] doors on the street when becomes low [the] sound of the grinding mill for someone may arise to [the] sound of bird and they may be reduced all [the] daughters of song.
And the doors shall be shut in the street, when the sound of the grinding is low; and one shall start up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
5 Also from a high [place] people will be afraid and terrors [are] in the way and it may blossom the almond tree so it may drag itself along the grasshopper and it may fail the caper-berry for [is] going humankind to [the] house of perpetuity its and they will go about (in the street *L(abh)*) the mourners.
Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall drag itself along, and the caperberry shall fail; because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets;
6 Until that not (it will be snapped *Q(K)*) [the] cord of silver so it may be crushed [the] bowl of gold so it may be broken [the] jar at the water spring and it will be crushed the [water] wheel to the well.
Before the silver cord is snapped asunder, and the golden bowl is shattered, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and the wheel falleth shattered, into the pit;
7 And it will return the dust to the earth like which it was and the spirit it will return to God who he gave it.
And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it.
8 Futility of futilities he said the Teacher everything [is] futility.
Vanity of vanities, saith Koheleth; all is vanity.
9 And besides that he was Teacher wise again he taught knowledge the people and he weighed and he searched out he arranged in order proverbs [surely] a multitude.
And besides that Koheleth was wise, he also taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10 sought Teacher to find words of delight and [what] was written uprightness [was] words of truth.
Koheleth sought to find out words of delight, and that which was written uprightly, even words of truth.
11 [the] words of Wise [people] [are] like goads and [are] like nails firmly fixed masters of collections they are given from a shepherd one.
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails well fastened are those that are composed in collections; they are given from one shepherd.
12 And excess more than them O child my be warned to make books many there not [is] an end and study much [is] weariness of flesh.
And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 [the] end of [the] matter Everything it has been heard God fear and commandments his keep for this [is] all humankind.
The end of the matter, all having been heard: fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole man.
14 For every deed God he will bring in judgment with every hidden thing whether good and or evil.
For God shall bring every work into the judgment concerning every hidden thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.
