Remember now thy
Creator in the
days of thy
youth, while the
evil days come not, nor the
years draw
nigh, when thou shalt
say, I have no
pleasure in them;

While the
sun, or the
light, or the
moon, or the
stars, be not
darkened, nor the
clouds return after the
rain:

In the
day when the
keepers of the
house shall
tremble, and the
strong men shall
bow themselves, and the
grinders cease because they are
few, and those that look
out of the
windows be
darkened,

And the
doors shall be
shut in the
streets, when the
sound of the
grinding is
low, and he shall rise
up at the
voice of the
bird, and all the
daughters of
musick shall be brought
low;

Also when they shall be
afraid of that which is
high, and
fears shall be in the
way, and the almond
tree shall
flourish, and the
grasshopper shall be a
burden, and
desire shall
fail: because
man goeth to his
long home, and the
mourners go
about the
streets:

Or
ever the
silver cord be
loosed, or the
golden bowl be
broken, or the
pitcher be
broken at the
fountain, or the
wheel broken at the
cistern.

Then shall the
dust return to the
earth as it was: and the
spirit shall
return unto
God who
gave it.
