6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is1 loosed,
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,
Or the wheel broken at the well.
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,
Or the wheel broken at the well.
7 aThen the dust will return to the earth as it was,
bAnd the spirit will return to God cwho gave it.
bAnd the spirit will return to God cwho gave it.
8 “Vanitya of vanities,” says the Preacher,
“All is vanity.”
“All is vanity.”
The Whole Duty of Man
9 And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and aset in order many proverbs.
10 The Preacher sought to find1 acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of1 scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.
