< 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 now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor 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.
While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, are not darkened, 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 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 of the windows shall be darkened,
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 streets, when the sound of the grinding shall be low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the 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 fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire 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.
Or ever the silver cord shall be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at 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.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.
8 Futility of futilities he said the Teacher everything [is] futility.
Vanity of vanities saith 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 moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge: yes, he gave good heed, 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.
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and [that which was] written [was] upright, [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 fastened [by] the masters of assemblies, [which] 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 further, by these, 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.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of 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 every secret thing, whether [it is] good, or whether [it is] evil.
