Ecclesiastes 12:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 before the (A)sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened, and clouds return after the rain; 3 in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and valiant men (B)bend down, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and (C)those who look through [a]windows grow dark; 4 and the doors on the street are shut as the (D)sound of the grinding mill is low, and one will arise at the sound of the bird, and all the (E)daughters of song will [b]sing softly.

Ecclesiastes 12:2-4
New International Version
2 before the sun and the light
and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;
3 when the keepers of the house tremble,
and the strong men stoop,
when the grinders cease because they are few,
and those looking through the windows grow dim;
4 when the doors to the street are closed
and the sound of grinding fades;
when people rise up at the sound of birds,
but all their songs grow faint;(A)
