Ecclesiastes 12:3-5

New American Standard Bible

³ on the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and strong men are ^(A)bent over, the grinders stop working because they are few, and ^(B)those who look through ^[a]windows grow ^[b]dim; 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 ^[c]sing softly. ⁵ Furthermore, people are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and the caper berry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal ^(E)home while the ^(F)mourners move around in the street.
