1Remember^H2142 also your Creator^H1254 in the days^H3117 of your youth,^H979 before^{H5704H834H3808} the evil^H9567 days^H3117 come^H935 and the years^H8141 draw^H5060 near^H5060 when^H834 you will say,^H559 "I have^H369 no^H369 delight^H2656 in them";
2before^{H5704H834H3808} the sun,^H8121 the light,^H216 the moon,^H3394 and the stars^H3556 are darkened,^H2821 and clouds^H5645 return^H7725 after^H310 the rain;^H1653
3in the day^H3117 that the watchmen^H8104 of the house^H1004 tremble,^H2111 and mighty^H2428 men^H376 stoop,^H5791 the grinding^H2912 ones stand^H988 idle^H988 because^H3588 they are few,^H4591 and those who look^H7200 through windows^H699 grow^H2821 dim;^H2821
4and the doors^H1817 on the street^H7784 are shut^H5462 as the sound^H6963 of the grinding^H2913 mill^H2913 is low,^H8217 and one will arise^H6965 at the sound^H6963 of the bird,^H6833 and all^H3605 the daughters^H1323 of song^H7892 will sing^H7817 softly.^H7817
5Furthermore,^H1571 men are afraid^H3372 of a high^H1364 place and of terrors^H2849 on the road;^H1870 the almond^H8247 tree^H8247 blossoms,^H9343 the grasshopper^H2284 drags^H5445 himself along, and the caperberry^H35 is ineffective.^H6565 For man^H120 goes^H1980 to his eternal^H5769 home^H1004 while mourners^H5594 go^H5437 about^H5437 in the street.^H7784
6[Remember Him] before^{H5704H834H3808} the silver^H3701 cord^H9112 is broken^H7576 and the golden^H2091 bowl^H1543 is crushed,^H7533 the pitcher^H3537 by the well^H4002 is shattered^H7665 and the wheel^H1534 at the cistern^H953 is crushed;^H7533
7then the dust^H6083 will return^H7725 to the earth^H776 as it was, and the spirit^H7307 will return^H7725 to God^H430 who^H834 gave^H5414 it.
8"Vanity^H1892 of vanities,^H1892" says^H559 the Preacher,^H6953 "all^H3605 is vanity!^H1892"
9In addition^H3148 to being^H1961 a wise^H2450 man,^H2450 the Preacher^H6953 also^H5750 taught^H3925 the people^H5971 knowledge;^H1847 and he pondered,^H239 searched^H2713 out and arranged^H8626 many^H7235 proverbs.^H4912
10The Preacher^H6953 sought^H1245 to find^H4672 delightful^H2656 words^H1697 and to write^H3789 words^H1697 of truth^H571 correctly.^H3476
11The words^H1697 of wise^H2450 men^H2450 are like goads,^H9091 and masters^H1167 of [these] collections^H627 are like well-driven nails;^H4548 they are given^H5414 by one^H259 Shepherd.^H7462
12But beyond^H3148 this,^H1992 my son,^H1121 be warned:^H2094 the writing^H6213 of many^H7235 books^H5612 is endless,^H7093H369 and excessive^H3854 devotion^H3854 [to books] is wearying^H3024 to the body.^H1320
13The conclusion,^H5490H1697 when all^H3605 has been heard,^H8085 [is: ] fear^H3372 God^H430 and keep^H8104 His commandments,^H4687 because^H3588 this^H2088 [applies to] every^H3605 person.^H120
14For God will bring^H935 every^H3605 act^H4639 to judgment,^H4941 everything^H3605 which is hidden,^H5956 whether^H518 it is good^H2896 or evil.^H7451
