Ecclesiastes 12:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ Then they fear heights and terrors along the road.
The almond blossoms become white.
The grasshopper drags himself along,
and the caperberry has no effect.^[a]
Why? Because the man is heading to his eternal home.
Then the wailing mourners will go around in the street.
⁶ Remember your Creator
    before the silver cord is snapped,
    and the golden bowl is broken,
    before the jar is shattered by the spring,
    and the waterwheel is broken by the well,
⁷     and the dust goes back into the ground—just as it was before,
    and the spirit goes back to God who gave it.
