Ecclesiastes 12:3-5

Legacy Standard Bible

³ in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and valiant men ^(A)bend down, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and ^(B)those who look through ^[a]windows grow dark; ⁴ and the doors on the street are shut as the ^(C)sound of the grinding mill is low, and one will arise at the sound of the bird, and all the ^(D)daughters of song will ^[b]sing softly. ⁵ Furthermore, ^[c]men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blooms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and the caperberry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal ^(E)home, but the ^(F)mourners go about in the street.
