Ecclesiastes 12:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 Furthermore, [a]men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blooms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and the caperberry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal (A)home, but the (B)mourners go about in the street. 6 Remember Him before the silver [b]cord is [c]snapped and the (C)golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the spring is broken and the wheel at the cistern is crushed; 7 then the (D)dust will return to the earth as it was, and the [d](E)spirit will return to (F)God who gave it.
