Ecclesiastes 12:2-4

Complete Jewish Bible

² before the sun and the light grow dim,
also the moon and the stars;
before the clouds return after the rain;
³ on the day when the guards of the house are trembling,
and men of courage are bent over double;
when the women stop grinding grain,
because there are so few;
when the women at the windows
can no longer see out;
⁴ when the doors to the streets are kept shut;
when the noise from the grain-mill fades;
when a person is startled by the chirp of a bird,
yet their singing is hard to hear;
