Ecclesiastes 12:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And they shall fear high things, and they shall be afraid in the way, the almond tree shall flourish, the locust shall be made fat, and the caper tree shall be destroyed: because man shall go into the house of his eternity, and the mourners shall go round about in the street.

⁶ Before the silver cord be broken, and the golden fillet shrink back, and the pitcher be crushed at the fountain, and the wheel be broken upon the cistern,

⁷ And the dust return into its earth, from whence it was, and the spirit return to God, who gave it.
