Ecclesiastes 12:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

⁵ when they will be afraid to go up a hill,
and terrors will stalk the way,
even though the almond tree is in bloom;
when the locust can only drag itself along,
and the caper berry has no [aphrodisiac] effect —
because the person is headed for his eternal home,
and the mourners are already gathering
in the marketplace —
⁶ before the silver cord is snapped
the bowl of gold is cracked,
the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
the pulley is broken at the cistern,
⁷ the dust returns to earth, as it was,
and the spirit returns to God, who gave it!
