1 # Remember <02142> (8798) now thy Creator <01254> (8802) in the days <03117> of thy youth <0979>, while the evil <07451> days <03117> come <0935> (8799) not, nor the years <08141> draw nigh <05060> (8689), when thou shalt say <0559> (8799), I have no pleasure <02656> in them;
2 While the sun <08121>, or the light <0216>, or the moon <03394>, or the stars <03556>, be not darkened <02821> (8799), nor the clouds <05645> return <07725> (8804) after <0310> the rain <01653>:
3 In the day <03117> when the keepers <08104> (8802) of the house <01004> shall tremble <02111> (8799) , and the strong <02428> men <0582> shall bow <05791> (8694) themselves, and the grinders <02912> (8802) cease <0988> (8804) because they are few <04591> (8765), and those that look out <07200> (8802) of the windows <0699> be darkened <02821> (8804),
4 And the doors <01817> shall be shut <05462> (8795) in the streets <07784>, when the sound <06963> of the grinding <02913> is low <08217>, and he shall rise up <06965> (8799) at the voice <06963> of the bird <06833>, and all the daughters <01323> of musick <07892> shall be brought low <07817> (8735);
5 Also when they shall be afraid <03372> (8799) of that which is high <01364>, and fears <02849> shall be in the way <01870>, and the almond tree <08247> shall flourish <05006> (8686), and the grasshopper <02284> shall be a burden <05445> (8691), and desire <035> shall fail <06565> (8686): because man <0120> goeth <01980> (8802) to his long <05769> home <01004>, and the mourners <05594> (8802) go about <05437> (8804) the streets <07784>:
6 Or ever <03808> the silver <03701> cord <02256> be loosed <07576> (8735) (8675) <07368> (8735), or the golden <02091> bowl <01543> be broken <07533> (8799), or the pitcher <03537> be broken <07665> (8735) at the fountain <04002>, or the wheel <01534> broken <07533> (8738) at the cistern <0953>.
7 Then shall the dust <06083> return <07725> (8799) to the earth <0776> as it was: and the spirit <07307> shall return <07725> (8799) unto God <0430> who gave <05414> (8804) it.
8 # Vanity <01892> of vanities <01892>, saith <0559> (8804) the preacher <06953>; all is vanity <01892>.
9 And moreover <03148>, because the preacher <06953> was wise <02450>, he still taught <03925> (8765) the people <05971> knowledge <01847>; yea, he gave good heed <0239> (8765), and sought out <02713> (8765), and set in order <08626> (8765) many <07235> (8687) proverbs <04912>.
10 The preacher <06953> sought <01245> (8765) to find out <04672> (8800) acceptable <02656> words <01697>: and that which was written <03789> (8803) was upright <03476>, even words <01697> of truth <0571> .
11 The words <01697> of the wise <02450> are as goads <01861>, and as nails <04930> fastened <05193> (8803) by the masters <01167> of assemblies <0627>, which are given <05414> (8738) from one <0259> shepherd <07462> (8802).

12 And further <03148>, by these <01992>, my son <01121>, be admonished <02094> (8734): of making <06213> (8800) many <07235> (8687) books <05612> there is no end <07093>; and much <07235> (8687) study <03854> is a weariness <03024> of the flesh <01320>.
13 # Let us hear <08085> (8799) the conclusion <05490> of the whole matter <01697>: Fear <03372> (8798) God <0430>, and keep <08104> (8798) his commandments <04687>: for this is the whole duty of man <0120>.
14 For God <0430> shall bring <0935> (8686) every work <04639> into judgment <04941>, with every secret thing <05956> (8737), whether it be good <02896>, or whether it be evil <07451>.
