Ecclesiastes 12:5-7
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
5 they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along[a] and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets; 6 before the silver cord is snapped,[b] or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, 7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
