⁶ 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.
⁷ 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.

⁸ “Absolutely pointless!” says the spokesman. “Everything is pointless!”
