Ecclesiastes:11:7-12:8
noyes@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.
noyes@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ Yea, though a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him think of the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
noyes@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes! but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
noyes@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @ Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy body! for childhood and youth are vanity.
noyes@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember, also, thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, of which thou shalt say, "I have no pleasure in them;"
noyes@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars become dark, and the clouds return after the rain;
noyes@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ at the time when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows are darkened;
noyes@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ when the doors are shut in the streets, while the sound of the mill is low; when they rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music are brought low;
noyes@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ when also they are afraid of that which is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond is despised, and the locust is a burden, and the caperberry is powerless; since man goeth to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;
noyes@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ before the silver cord be snapped asunder, and the golden bowl be crushed, or the bucket broken at the fountain, or the wheel shattered at the well,
noyes@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ and the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it.
noyes@Ecclesiastes:12:8 @ Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity!
