Ecclesiastes 12:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Furthermore, people are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and the caper berry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal (A)home while the (B)mourners move around in the street. 6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is [a]broken and the (C)golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the spring is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed; 7 then the (D)dust will return to the earth as it was, and the [b](E)spirit will return to (F)God who gave it.
