⁵ when people are afraid of heights
    and of dangers in the streets;
when the almond tree blossoms
    and the grasshopper drags itself along
    and desire no longer is stirred.
Then people go to their eternal home^(A)
    and mourners^(B) go about the streets.

⁷ and the dust returns^(A) to the ground it came from,
    and the spirit returns to God^(B) who gave it.^(C)

¹⁰ But a man dies and is laid low;^(A)
    he breathes his last and is no more.^(B)
11 As the water of a lake dries up
    or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,^(C)
12 so he lies down and does not rise;^(D)
    till the heavens are no more,^(E) people will not awake
    or be roused from their sleep.^(F)
