Ecclesiastes 12:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Remember to serve God while you are young,
    because one day your life will finish.
It will be like a silver chain that breaks;
    like a gold bowl that breaks;
    like a water pot at the well that breaks into pieces;
    like a rope at the well that breaks apart.^[a]
7 Our bodies go back into the ground as dust.
The breath of our life goes back to God,
    who gave it to us.^[b]
