Ecclesiastes 12:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ They are afraid of heights,
    and terrors are on the road.
The almond tree blossoms,
    and the grasshopper draws itself along, and desire fails
because man goes to his eternal home,
    and the mourners go about in the streets.
⁶ Before the silver cord is snapped
    and the golden bowl is broken;
and the jar at the foundation is broken,
    and the wheel at the cistern is broken.
⁷ And the dust returns to the earth as it was,
    and the breath returns to God who gave it.
