"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil
days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have
no pleasure in them; while the sun, or the light, or the moon; or the
stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: in the
day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall
bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that
look out of the windows be darkened, and the doors shall be shut in the
streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at
the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought
low; also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fear shall
be in the way; and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper
shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long
home, and the mourners go around the streets: or ever the silver cord be
loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher broken at the fountain,
or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the
earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."
Ec. xii, 1-7
