Ecclesiastes 12:5-7
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
5 when one is afraid of heights, and terrors are in the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along[a] and desire fails; because all must go to their eternal home, and the mourners will go about the streets; 6 before the silver cord is snapped,[b] 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[c] returns to God who gave it.
