Remember your Creator when someone is afraid of heights
    and of dangers along the road,
        the almond tree blossoms,
            the grasshopper drags itself along,
                and the caper bush has no fruit.
    Mortals go to their eternal rest, and mourners go out in the streets.

Remember your Creator before the silver cord is snapped,
    the golden bowl is broken,
        the pitcher is smashed near the spring,
            and the water wheel is broken at the cistern.
Then the dust of mortals goes back to the ground as it was before,
    and the breath of life goes back to Elohim who gave it.
