6 before the silver cord is snapped,[a] and the golden bowl is broken, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and the wheel broken at the cistern, 7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the breath[b] returns to God who gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher;[c] all is vanity.
