Ecclesiastes 12:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² When you become old,
    the light from the sun, moon and stars will seem dark to you.
    It will seem as if the rain clouds never go away.
³ At that time your arms will lose their strength.
    Your strong legs will become weak and bent.
Your teeth will fall out so you cannot chew.
    Your eyes will not see clearly.
⁴ Your ears will be deaf to the noise in the streets.
    You will barely hear singing.
The sound of the millstone grinding your grain will seem very quiet.
    But you’ll wake up when a bird first starts singing!
