While the sun and the light,
The moon and the stars,
Are not darkened,
And the clouds do not return after the rain;

And the clouds do not return after the rain;

When the grinders cease because they are few,
And those that look through the windows grow dim;
in the day 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,

And of terrors in the way;

And desire fails.
For man goes to his eternal home,
And the mourners go about the streets.
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.
they are also afraid of what is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond is despised, and the grasshopper is a burden, and the caper-berry is without effect; (for man goeth to his age-long home, and the mourners go about the streets;)
-- before the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be shattered at the fountain, or the wheel be broken at the cistern;
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit will return to God who gave it.
And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, and sought out, [and] set in order many proverbs.
The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words; and that which was written is upright, words of truth.
The words of the wise are as goads, and the collections [of them] as nails fastened in: they are given from one shepherd.
