Ecclesiastes 12:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ before the day when the watchmen of the house tremble,
and the strong men are bent over,
and the women who grind grain cease because they are few,
and those watching through the windows can barely see.
⁴ Then the double doors to the street are shut,
    as the grinding of the mill grows quiet.
A person wakes up at the sound of a bird,
but all the sounds of music are muffled.
⁵ Then they fear heights and terrors along the road.
The almond blossoms become white.
The grasshopper drags himself along,
and the caperberry has no effect.^[a]
Why? Because the man is heading to his eternal home.
Then the wailing mourners will go around in the street.
