Ecclesiastes 12:1-3

Common English Bible

12 Remember your creator in your prime,
    before the days of trouble arrive,
    and those years, about which you’ll say, “I take no pleasure in these”—
²     before the sun and the light grow dark, the moon and the stars too,
        before the clouds return after the rain;
³     on the day when the housekeepers tremble and the strong men stoop;
when the women who grind stop working because they’re so few,
    and those who look through the windows grow dim;
