Ecclesiastes 12:2-4

Expanded Bible

² When you get old,
    the light from the sun, moon, and stars will grow dark,
    and the rain clouds ·will never seem to go away [^Lreturn after the rain].
³ At that time ·your arms [^Lthe guards of the house] will shake
    and ·your legs [^Lthe landowners] will ·become weak [bend].
·Your teeth will fall out so you cannot chew [^LThe grinders cease because they are few; ^Cwomen who grind grain],
    and ·your eyes will not see clearly [^Lthose who look through the windows grow dim; ^Canother group of women].
⁴ ·Your ears will be deaf to the noise [^LThe doors are shut] in the streets,
    and ·you will barely hear the millstone grinding grain [^Lthe sound of grinding decreases].
·You’ll wake up when a bird starts singing [^LOne rises at the sound of a bird],
    ·but you will barely hear singing [^Land the daughters of song are brought low].
