Remember Your Creator
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,
before the days of adversity come
and the years approach of which you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them,”
2before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened,
and the clouds return after the rain,
3on the day the keepers of the house tremble
and the strong men stoop,
when those grinding cease because they are few
and those watching through windows see dimly,
4when the doors to the street are shut
and the sound of the mill fades away,
when one rises at the sound of a bird
and all the daughters of song grow faint,
5[when] [men] fear the heights and dangers of the road,
when the almond tree blossoms,
the grasshopper loses its spring,
and the caper berry shrivels —
for then man goes to his eternal home
and mourners walk the streets.
6[Remember Him] before the silver cord is snapped
and the golden bowl is crushed,
[before] the pitcher is shattered at the spring
and the wheel is broken at the well,
7[before] the dust returns to the ground from which it came
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
8“Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher.
“Everything is futile!”
