Ecclesiastes 12:2-4

Modern English Version

² before the sun, light,
    moon, and stars are darkened,
    and the clouds leave after the rain;
³ in the day when those watching the house tremble,
    and the strong men are bent over;
when the grinders cease because they are few,
    and those looking through the windows have dimmed eyes;
⁴ and the doors on the street are shut,
    and the sound of grinding is low;
and one rises up at the sound of a bird,
    and all the daughters of song are brought low;
