Ecclesiastes 12 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

1 H2142 [H8798] Remember H1254 [H8802] now thy Creator H3117 in the days H979 of thy youth, H7451 while the evil H3117 days H935 [H8799] come H8141 not, nor the years H5060 [H8689] draw near, H559 [H8799] when thou shalt say, H2656 I have no pleasure in them;

2 H8121 While the sun, H216 or the light, H3394 or the moon, H3556 or the stars, H2821 [H8799] are not darkened, H5645 nor the clouds H7725 [H8804] return H310 after H1653 the rain:

3 H3117 In the day H8104 [H8802] when the keepers H1004 of the house H2111 [H8799] shall tremble, H2428 and the strong H582 men H5791 [H8694] shall bow H2912 [H8802] themselves, and the grinders H988 [H8804] cease H4591 [H8765] because they are few, H7200 [H8802] and those that see out H699 of the windows H2821 [H8804] shall be darkened,

4 H1817 And the doors H5462 [H8795] shall be shut H7784 in the streets, H6963 when the sound H2913 of the grinding H8217 shall be low, H6965 [H8799] and he shall rise up H6963 at the voice H6833 of the bird, H1323 and all the daughters H7892 of music H7817 [H8735] shall be brought low;

5 H3372 [H8799] Also when they shall be afraid H1364 of that which is high, H2849 and fears H1870 shall be in the way, H8247 and the almond tree H5006 [H8686] shall flourish, H2284 and the grasshopper H5445 [H8691] shall be a burden, H35 and desire H6565 [H8686] shall fail: H120 because man H1980 [H8802] goeth H5769 to his long H1004 home, H5594 [H8802] and the mourners H5437 [H8804] go about H7784 the streets:

6 H3808 Or ever H3701 the silver H2256 cord H7576 H7368 [H8735] shall be loosed, H2091 or the golden H1543 bowl H7533 [H8799] be broken, H3537 or the pitcher H7665 [H8735] be broken H4002 at the fountain, H1534 or the wheel H7533 [H8738] broken H953 at the cistern.

7 H6083 Then shall the dust H7725 [H8799] return H776 to the earth H7307 as it was: and the spirit H7725 [H8799] shall return H430 to God H5414 [H8804] who gave it.

8 H1892 Vanity H1892 of vanities, H559 [H8804] saith H6953 the preacher; H1892 all is vanity.

9 H3148 And moreover, H6953 because the preacher H2450 was wise, H3925 [H8765] he still taught H5971 the people H1847 knowledge; H239 [H8765] yea, he gave good heed, H2713 [H8765] and sought out, H8626 [H8765] and set in order H7235 [H8687] many H4912 proverbs.

10 H6953 The preacher H1245 [H8765] sought H4672 [H8800] to find out H2656 acceptable H1697 words: H3789 [H8803] and that which was written H3476 was upright, H1697 even words H571 of truth.

11 H1697 The words H2450 of the wise H1861 are as goads, H4930 and as nails H5193 [H8803] fastened H1167 by the masters H627 of assemblies, H5414 [H8738] which are given H259 from one H7462 [H8802] shepherd.

12 H3148 And further, H1992 by these, H1121 my son, H2094 [H8734] be admonished: H6213 [H8800] of making H7235 [H8687] many H5612 books H7093 there is no end; H7235 [H8687] and much H3854 study H3024 is a weariness H1320 of the flesh.

13 H8085 [H8799] Let us hear H5490 the conclusion H1697 of the whole matter: H3372 [H8798] Fear H430 God, H8104 [H8798] and keep H4687 his commandments: H120 for this is the whole duty of man.

14 H430 For God H935 [H8686] shall bring H4639 every work H4941 into judgment, H5956 [H8737] with every secret thing, H2896 whether it is good, H7451 or whether it is evil.
