1 Remember H2142 now thy Creator H1254 in the days H3117 B-CMP of thy youth H979 , while H5704 PREP the evil H7451 D-AFS days H3117 CMP come H935 VQY3MP not H3808 NADV , nor the years H8141 NFP draw nigh H5060 , when H834 RPRO thou shalt say H559 , I have no H369 ADV pleasure H2656 in them ;
2 While H5704 PREP the sun H8121 D-NMS , or the light H216 , or the moon H3394 , or the stars H3556 , be not H3808 ADV darkened H2821 , nor the clouds H5645 return H7725 after H310 ADV the rain H1653 :
3 In the day H3117 B-AMS when the keepers H8104 of the house H1004 D-NMS shall tremble H2111 , and the strong H2428 men H376 CMP shall bow themselves H5791 , and the grinders H2912 cease H988 because H3588 CONJ they are few H4591 , and those that look H7200 out of the windows H699 be darkened H2821 ,
4 And the doors H1817 shall be shut H5462 in the streets H7784 , when the sound H6963 CMS of the grinding H2913 is low H8213 , and he shall rise up H6965 at the voice H6963 L-CMS of the bird H6833 , and all H3605 NMS the daughters H1323 CFP of music H7892 shall be brought low H7817 ;
5 Also H1571 CONJ when they shall be afraid H3372 of that which is high H1364 , and fears H2849 shall be in the way H1870 , and the almond tree H8247 shall flourish H5006 , and the grasshopper H2284 shall be a burden H5445 , and desire H35 shall fail H6565 : because H3588 CONJ man H120 D-NMS goeth H1980 to H413 PREP his long H5769 home H1004 CMS , and the mourners H5594 go about H5437 the streets H7784 :
6 Or H5704 PREP ever H834 RPRO the silver H3701 cord H2256 be loosed H7368 , or the golden H2091 bowl H1543 be broken H7533 , or the pitcher H3537 be broken H7665 at H5921 PREP the fountain H4002 , or the wheel H1534 broken H7533 at H413 PREP the cistern H953 .
7 Then shall the dust H6083 return H7725 to H5921 PREP the earth H776 D-GFS as it was : and the spirit H7307 shall return H7725 VQY2MS unto H413 PREP God H430 D-EDP who H834 RPRO gave H5414 it .
8 Vanity H1892 of vanities H1892 , saith H559 VQQ3MS the preacher H6953 ; all H3605 is vanity H1892 .
9 And moreover H3148 , because the preacher H6953 was wise H2450 AMS , he still H5750 ADV taught H3925 the people H5971 knowledge H1847 NFS ; yea , he gave good heed H238 , and sought out H2713 , and set in order H8626 many H7235 proverbs H4912 .
10 The preacher H6953 sought H1245 to find out H4672 acceptable H2656 words H1697 CMP : and that which was written H3789 was upright H3476 NMS , even words H1697 CMP of truth H571 .
11 The words H1697 CMP of the wise H2450 AMP are as goads H1861 , and as nails H4930 fastened H5193 by the masters H1167 CMP of assemblies H627 , which are given H5414 from one shepherd H7462 .
12 And further H3148 , by these H1992 , my son H1121 NMS-1MS , be admonished H2094 : of making H6213 VQFC many H7235 VHFA books H5612 there is no H369 NPAR end H7093 RMS ; and much H7235 VHFA study H3854 is a weariness H3024 of the flesh H1320 NMS .
13 Let us hear H8085 the conclusion H5490 of the whole H3605 NMS matter H1697 VQPMS : Fear H3372 God H430 D-EDP , and keep H8104 his commandments H4687 : for H3588 CONJ this H2088 DPRO is the whole H3605 NMS duty of man H120 D-NMS .
14 For H3588 CONJ God H430 D-EDP shall bring H935 every H3605 NMS work H4639 into judgment H4941 B-NMS , with H5921 PREP every H3605 NMS secret thing H5956 , whether H518 PART it be good H2896 AMS , or whether H518 PART it be evil H7451 AMS .
