Ecclesiastes 12:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ At that time they will fear climbing^[a] heights
    and dangers along the road
while the almond tree will blossom,
    and the grasshopper is weighed down.
Desire will cease,^[b]
    because the person goes to his eternal home,
        and mourners will gather in the marketplace.
⁶ When the silver cord is severed,
    the golden vessel is broken,
the pitcher is shattered at the fountain,
    and the wheel is broken at the cistern,
⁷ then man’s^[c] dust will go back to the earth,
    returning to what it was,
        and the spirit^[d] will return to the God who gave it.
