< 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.
And remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of evil come, and the years overtake [you] in which you shall 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.
While the sun and light are not darkened, nor the moon and the stars; nor 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 wherein the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the mighty men shall become bent, and the grinding [women] cease because they have become few, and the [women] looking out at the windows be dark;
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 they shall shut the doors in the marketplace, because of the weakness of the voice of her that grinds [at the mill]; and he shall rise up at the voice of the sparrow, and all the daughters of song 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.
and they shall look up, and fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall blossom, and the locust shall increase, and the caper shall be scattered: because man has gone to his eternal home, and the mourners have gone about the market:
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 be [let go], or the choice gold be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel run down to the cistern;
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.
[before] the dust also return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it.
8 Futility of futilities he said the Teacher everything [is] futility.
Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher; 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 because the Preacher was wise above [others, so it was] that he taught man excellent knowledge, and the ear will trace out the parables.
10 sought Teacher to find words of delight and [what] was written uprightness [was] words of truth.
The Preacher sought diligently to find out acceptable words, and a correct writing, [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 firmly fastened, which have been given from one shepherd by agreement.
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 moreover, my son, guard yourself by means of them: 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.
Hear the end of the matter, the sun: 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 will bring every work into judgment, with everything that has been overlooked, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.
