Ecclesiastes 12:1-4 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
1
Remember1 your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble2 come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"--
2
before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain;
3
when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim;
4
when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint;3
