Ecclesiastes 12:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and valiant men (A)bend down, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and (B)those who look through [a]windows grow dark; 4 and the doors on the street are shut as the (C)sound of the grinding mill is low, and one will arise at the sound of the bird, and all the (D)daughters of song will [b]sing softly. 5 Furthermore, [c]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 (E)home, but the (F)mourners go about in the street.
