nkjv Ecclesiastes:12:2-8
nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars, Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain;
nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, And the strong men bow down; When the grinders cease because they are few, And those that look through the windows grow dim;
nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ When the doors are shut in the streets, And the sound of grinding is low; When one rises up at the sound of a bird, And all the daughters of music are brought low.
nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.
nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well.
nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.
nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:8 @ "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "All is vanity."
