Ecclesiastes 12:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 The silver cord snaps,
the golden bowl breaks;
the water pitcher is smashed,
and the pulley at the well
is shattered.
7 So our bodies return
to the earth,
and the life-giving breath[a]
returns to God.
8 Nothing makes sense.
I have seen it all—
nothing makes sense.
