Ecclesiastes 12
Today's New International Version Help
12Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say,"I find no pleasure in them"—H2142H1254H3117H979H7451H3117H935H8141H5060H559H2656
2before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain;H8121H216H3394H3556H2821H5645H7725H310H1653
3when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim;H3117H8104H1004H2111H2428H582H5791H2912H988H4591H7200H699H2821
4when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when people rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint;H1817H5462H7784H6963H2913H8217H6965H6963H6833H1323H7892H7817
5when people are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then people go to their eternal home and mourners go about the streets.H3372H1364H2849H1870H8247H5006H2284H5445H35H6565H120H1980H5769H1004H5594H5437H7784
6Remember him—before the silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well,H3808H3701H2256H7576H7368H2091H1543H7533H3537H7665H4002H1534H7533H953
7and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.H6083H7725H776H7307H7725H430H5414
8"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is meaningless!"H1892H1892H559H6953H1892
9Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.H3148H6953H2450H3925H5971H1847H239H2713H8626H7235H4912
10The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.H6953H1245H4672H2656H1697H3789H3476H1697H571
11The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one shepherd.H1697H2450H1861H4930H5193H1167H627H5414H259H7462
12Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.H3148H1992H1121H2094H6213H7235H5612H7093H7235H3854H3024H1320
13Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of every human being.H8085H5490H1697H3372H430H8104H4687H120
14For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.H430H935H4639H4941H5956H2896H7451
