Amplified Bible Help
12REMEMBER [earnestly] also your Creator [that you are not your own, but His property now] in the days of your youth, before the evil days come or the years draw near when you will say [of physical pleasures], I have no enjoyment in them--H2142H1254H3117H979H7451H3117H935H8141H5060H559H2656 2Before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened [sight is impaired], and the clouds [of depression] return after the rain [of tears];H8121H216H3394H3556H2821H5645H7725H310H1653 3In the day when the keepers of the house [the hands and the arms] tremble, and the strong men [the feet and the knees] bow themselves, and the grinders [the molar teeth] cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows [the eyes] are darkened;H3117H8104H1004H2111H2428H582H5791H2912H988H4591H7200H699H2821 4When the doors [the lips] are shut in the streets and the sound of the grinding [of the teeth] is low, and one rises up at the voice of a bird {and} the crowing of a cock, and all the daughters of music [the voice and the ear] are brought low;H1817H5462H7784H6963H2913H8217H6965H6963H6833H1323H7892H7817 5Also when [the old] are afraid of danger from that which is high, and fears are in the way, and the almond tree [their white hair] blooms, and the grasshopper [a little thing] is a burden, and desire {and} appetite fail, because man goes to his everlasting home and the mourners go about the streets {or} marketplaces.H3372H1364H2849H1870H8247H5006H2284H5445H35H6565H120H1980H5769H1004H5594H5437H7784 6[Remember your Creator earnestly now] before the silver cord [of life] is snapped apart, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern [and the whole circulatory system of the blood ceases to function];H3808H3701H2256H7576H7368H2091H1543H7533H3537H7665H4002H1534H7533H953 7Then shall the dust [out of which God made man's body] return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God Who gave it.H6083H7725H776H7307H7725H430H5414 8Vapor of vapors {and} futility of futilities, says the Preacher. All is futility (emptiness, falsity, vainglory, and transitoriness)!H1892H1892H559H6953H1892 9And furthermore, because the Preacher was wise, he [Solomon] still taught the people knowledge; and he pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.H3148H6953H2450H3925H5971H1847H239H2713H8626H7235H4912 10The Preacher sought acceptable words, even to write down rightly words of truth {or} correct sentiment.H6953H1245H4672H2656H1697H3789H3476H1697H571 11The words of the wise are like prodding goads, and firmly fixed [in the mind] like nails are the collected sayings which are given [as proceeding] from one Shepherd.H1697H2450H1861H4930H5193H1167H627H5414H259H7462 12But about going further [than the words given by one Shepherd], my son, be warned. Of making many books there is no end [so do not believe everything you read], and much study is a weariness of the flesh.H3148H1992H1121H2094H6213H7235H5612H7093H7235H3854H3024H1320 13All has been heard; the end of the matter is: Fear God [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is] and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man [the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God's providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun] {and} the whole [duty] for every man.H8085H5490H1697H3372H430H8104H4687H120 14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil.H430H935H4639H4941H5956H2896H7451
