Ecclesiastes 12:2-4

The Voice

² before the sun and light and the moon and stars fade to darkness and before cloud-covered skies return after the rain. ³ Remember Him before the arms and legs of the keeper of the house begin to tremble—before the strong grow uneasy and bent over with age—before toothless gums aren’t able to chew food and eyes grow dim. ⁴ Remember Him before the doors are shut in the streets and hearing fails and everyday sounds fade away—before the slightest sound of a bird’s chirp awakens the sleeping but the song itself has fallen silent.
