Ecclesiastes 12
|
- 12:1
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;
|
- 12:2 While the
sun, or the
light, or the
moon, or the
stars, be not
darkened, nor the
clouds
return
after the
rain:
|
- 12:3 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,
|
- 12:4 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
musick shall be brought
low;
|
- 12:5 Also when they shall be
afraid of that which is
high, and
fears 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
about the
streets:
|
- 12:6 Or
ever the
silver
cord be
loosed
(8735) , or the
golden
bowl be
broken, or the
pitcher be
broken at the
fountain, or the
wheel
broken at the
cistern.
|
- 12:7 Then shall the
dust
return to the
earth as it was: and the
spirit shall
return unto
God who
gave it.
|
- 12:8
Vanity of
vanities,
saith the
preacher; all is
vanity.
|
- 12:9 And
moreover, because the
preacher was
wise, he still
taught the
people
knowledge; yea, he gave good
heed, and sought
out, and set in
order
many
proverbs.
|
- 12:10 The
preacher
sought to find
out
acceptable
words: and that which was
written was
upright, even
words of
truth.
|
- 12:11 The
words of the
wise are as
goads, and as
nails
fastened by the
masters of
assemblies, which are
given from
one
shepherd.
|
- 12:12 And
further, by
these, my
son, be
admonished: of
making
many
books there is no
end; and
much
study is a
weariness of the
flesh.
|
- 12:13 Let us
hear the
conclusion of the whole
matter:
Fear
God, and
keep his
commandments: for this is the whole duty of
man.
|
- 12:14 For
God shall
bring every
work into
judgment, with every secret
thing, whether it be
good, or whether it be
evil.
