Ecclesiastes 12:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Remember God before your life is snapped like a silver chain.
    Remember God before your life is broken like a golden bowl.
It will be as useless as a broken bucket at the spring.
    It will be no good, like a broken wheel at a water well.
⁷ Your body will become part of the dust of the earth again.
    But your spirit will return to God who gave it.

⁸ Everything is useless!
    The Teacher says that everything is useless.
