Ecclesiastes:12:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ;
*
While the sun ,
or the light ,
or the moon ,
or the stars ,
be not darkened ,
nor the clouds return after the rain :
*
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 be darkened ,
*
And the doors shall be shut in the streets ,
when the sound of the grinding is low ,
and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird ,
and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low ;
*
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 :
