Ecclesiastes 12:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ Soon your life will snap like a silver chain
    or break like a golden bowl.
You will be like a broken pitcher at a spring,
    or a broken wheel at a well.
⁷ You will turn back into the dust of the earth again,
    but your spirit will return to God who gave it.

⁸ Everything is useless!
    The Teacher says that everything is useless.
