Ecclesiastes 12:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 before the silver cord is snapped,[a]
and the gold bowl is broken,(A)
and the jar is shattered at the spring,
and the wheel is broken into the well;
7 and the dust returns to the earth as it once was,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.(B)
8 “Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile.”(C)
