Ecclesiastes 12:5-7

New American Standard Bible

⁵ Furthermore, people are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and the caper berry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal ^(A)home while the ^(B)mourners move around in the street. ⁶ Remember your Creator before the silver cord is ^[a]broken and the ^(C)golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the spring is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed; ⁷ then the ^(D)dust will return to the earth as it was, and the ^[b](E)spirit will return to ^(F)God who gave it.
