Remember
also your Creator
in the
days
of your youth,
before
the evil
days
come
and the years
draw near
when
you will say,
"I have no
delight
in them";
2
before
the sun
and the light,
the moon
and the stars
are darkened,
and clouds
return
after
the rain;
3
in the day
that the watch
men
of the house
tremble,
and mighty
men
stoop,
the grinding
ones stand idle
because
they are few,
and those who look
through windows
grow dim;
4
and the doors
on the street
are shut
as the sound
of the grinding mill
is low,
and one will arise
at the sound
of the bird,
and all
the daughters
of song
will sing softly.
5
Furthermore,
men are afraid
of a high
place and of terrors
on the road;
the almond tree
blossoms,
the grasshopper
drags
himself along, and the caperberry
is ineffective.
For man
goes
to his eternal
home
while mourners
go about
in the street.
6
Remember Him before
the silver
cord
is broken
and the golden
bowl
is crushed,
the pitcher
by the well
is shattered
and the wheel
at the cistern
is crushed;
7
then the dust
will return
to the earth
as it was, and the spirit
will return
to God
who
gave
it.
8
"Vanity
of vanities,"
says
the Preacher,
"all
is vanity!"
9
In addition
to being
a wise man,
the Preacher
also
taught
the people
knowledge;
and he pondered,
searched
out and arranged
many
proverbs.
10
The Preacher
sought
to find
delightful
words
and to write
words
of truth
correctly.
11
The words
of wise men
are like goads,
and masters
of these collections
are like well-driven
nails;
they are given
by one
Shepherd.
12
But beyond
this,
my son,
be warned:
the writing
of many
books
is endless,
and excessive devotion
to
books
is wearying
to the body.
13
The conclusion,
when all
has been heard,
is: fear
God
and keep
His commandments,
because
this
applies to every
person.
14
For God
will bring
every
act
to judgment,
every
thing
which is hidden,
whether
it is good
or evil.
