RememberH2142 now your CreatorH1254 in the daysH3117 of your youth,H979 whileH5704 the evilH7451 daysH3117 comeH935 not, nor the yearsH8141 draw near,H5060 whenH834 you shall say,H559 I have noH369 pleasureH2656 in them;
2
WhileH5704 the sun,H8121 or the light,H216 or the moon,H3394 or the stars,H3556 be not darkened,H2821 nor the cloudsH5645 returnH7725 afterH310 the rain:H1653
3
In the dayH3117 when the keepersH8104 of the houseH1004 shall tremble,H2111 and the strongH2428 menH582 shall bowH5791 themselves, and the grindersH2912 ceaseH988 becauseH3588 they are few,H4592 and those that lookH7200 out of the windowsH699 be darkened,H2821
4
And the doorsH1817 shall be shutH5462 in the streets,H7784 when the soundH6963 of the grindingH2913 is low,H8217 and he shall riseH6965 up at the voiceH6963 of the bird,H6833 and allH3605 the daughtersH1323 of musicH7892 shall be broughtH7817 low;H7817
5
AlsoH1571 when they shall be afraidH3372 of that which is high,H1364 and fearsH2849 shall be in the way,H1870 and the almondH8247 tree shall flourish,H5006 and the grasshopperH2284 shall be a burden,H5445 and desireH35 shall fail:H6565 becauseH3588 manH120 goesH1980 to his longH5769 home,H1004 and the mournersH5594 goH5437 aboutH5437 the streets:H7784
6
OrH5704 ever the silverH3701 cordH2256 be loosed,H7368 or the goldenH2091 bowlH1543 be broken,H7533 or the pitcherH3537 be brokenH7665 atH5921 the fountain,H4002 or the wheelH1534 brokenH7533 atH413 the cistern.H953
7
Then shall the dustH6083 returnH7725 to the earthH776 as it was: and the spiritH7307 shall returnH7725 to GodH430 whoH834 gaveH5414 it.
8
VanityH1892 of vanities,H1892 saidH559 the preacher;H6953 allH3605 is vanity.H1892
9
And moreover,H3148 because the preacherH6953 was wise,H2450 he stillH5750 taughtH3925 the peopleH5971 knowledge;H1847 yes, he gave good heed,H238 and soughtH2713 out, and set in orderH8626 manyH7235 proverbs.H4912
10
The preacherH6953 soughtH1245 to findH4672 out acceptableH2656 words:H1697 and that which was writtenH3789 was upright,H3476 even wordsH1697 of truth.H571
11
The wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450 are as goads,H1861 and as nailsH4930 fastenedH5193 by the mastersH1167 of assemblies,H627 which are givenH5414 from oneH259 shepherd.H7462
12
And further,H3148 by these,H1992 my son,H1121 be admonished:H2094 of makingH6213 manyH7235 booksH5612 there is noH369 end;H7093 and muchH7235 studyH3854 is a wearinessH3024 of the flesh.H1320
13
Let us hearH8085 the conclusionH5490 of the wholeH3605 matter:H1697 FearH3372 God,H430 and keepH8104 his commandments:H4687 for thisH2088 is the wholeH3605 dutyH1697 of man.H120
14
For GodH430 shall bringH935 everyH3605 workH4639 into judgment,H4941 with everyH3605 secretH5956 thing, whetherH518 it be good,H2896 or whetherH518 it be evil.H7451
