Book 33 : KETUVIM - MEGILOT - ECCLESIASTES - Chapter 012

12:001

Remember then thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say: 'I have no pleasure in them'

12:002

Before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain

12:003

In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out shall be darkened in the windows

12:004

And the doors shall be shut in the street, when the sound of the grinding is low; and one shall start up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low

12:005

Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall drag itself along, and the caperberry shall fail; because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets

12:006

Before the silver cord is snapped asunder, and the golden bowl is shattered, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and the wheel falleth shattered, into the pit

12:007

And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto G-d who gave it

12:008

Vanity of vanities, saith Koheleth; all is vanity

12:009

And besides that Koheleth was wise, he also taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs

12:010

Koheleth sought to find out words of delight, and that which was written uprightly, even words of truth

12:011

The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails well fastened are those that are composed in collections; they are given from one shepherd

12:012

And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh

12:013

The end of the matter, all having been heard: fear G-d, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole man

12:014

For G-d shall bring every work into the judgment concerning every hidden thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil
