Ecclesiastes 12:6-8

The Voice

^6-7 So before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is shattered: before the earthen jar is smashed at the spring and the wheel at the well is broken—before the dust returns to the earth that gave it and the spirit-breath returns to God who breathed it, let us remember our Creator. ⁸ Life is fleeting; it just slips through your fingers. All vanishes like mist.
