1

Rememberh2142h8798 now thy Creatorh1254h8802 in the daysh3117 of thy youthh979, while the evilh7451 daysh3117 comeh935h8799 not, nor the yearsh8141 draw nighh5060h8689, when thou shalt sayh559h8799, I have no pleasureh2656 in them;

2

While the sunh8121, or the lighth216, or the moonh3394, or the starsh3556, be not darkenedh2821h8799, nor the cloudsh5645 returnh7725h8804 afterh310 the rainh1653:

3

In the dayh3117 when the keepersh8104h8802 of the househ1004 shall trembleh2111h8799, and the strongh2428 menh582 shall bowh5791h8694 themselves, and the grindersh2912h8802 ceaseh988h8804 because they are fewh4591h8765, and those that look outh7200h8802 of the windowsh699 be darkenedh2821h8804, the grinders...: or, the grinders fail, because they grind little

4

And the doorsh1817 shall be shuth5462h8795 in the streetsh7784, when the soundh6963 of the grindingh2913 is lowh8217, and he shall rise uph6965h8799 at the voiceh6963 of the birdh6833, and all the daughtersh1323 of musickh7892 shall be brought lowh7817h8735;

5

Also when they shall be afraidh3372h8799 of that which is highh1364, and fearsh2849 shall be in the wayh1870, and the almond treeh8247 shall flourishh5006h8686, and the grasshopperh2284 shall be a burdenh5445h8691, and desireh35 shall failh6565h8686: because manh120 goethh1980h8802 to his longh5769 homeh1004, and the mournersh5594h8802 go abouth5437h8804 the streetsh7784:

6

Or everh3808 the silverh3701 cordh2256 be loosedh7576h8735h8675h7368h8735, or the goldenh2091 bowlh1543 be brokenh7533h8799, or the pitcherh3537 be brokenh7665h8735 at the fountainh4002, or the wheelh1534 brokenh7533h8738 at the cisternh953.

7

Then shall the dusth6083 returnh7725h8799 to the earthh776 as it was: and the spirith7307 shall returnh7725h8799 unto Godh430 who gaveh5414h8804 it.

8

Vanityh1892 of vanitiesh1892, saithh559h8804 the preacherh6953; all is vanityh1892.

9

And moreoverh3148, because the preacherh6953 was wiseh2450, he still taughth3925h8765 the peopleh5971 knowledgeh1847; yea, he gave good heedh239h8765, and sought outh2713h8765, and set in orderh8626h8765 manyh7235h8687 proverbsh4912. moreover...: or, the more wise the preacher was, etc

10

The preacherh6953 soughth1245h8765 to find outh4672h8800 acceptableh2656 wordsh1697: and that which was writtenh3789h8803 was uprighth3476, even wordsh1697 of truthh571. acceptable...: Heb. words of delight

11

The wordsh1697 of the wiseh2450 are as goadsh1861, and as nailsh4930 fastenedh5193h8803 by the mastersh1167 of assembliesh627, which are givenh5414h8738 from oneh259 shepherdh7462h8802.

12

And furtherh3148, by theseh1992, my sonh1121, be admonishedh2094h8734: of makingh6213h8800 manyh7235h8687 booksh5612 there is no endh7093; and muchh7235h8687 studyh3854 is a wearinessh3024 of the fleshh1320. study: or, reading

13

Let us hearh8085h8799 the conclusionh5490 of the whole matterh1697: Fearh3372h8798 Godh430, and keeph8104h8798 his commandmentsh4687: for this is the whole duty of manh120. Let...: or, The end of the matter, even all that hath been heard, is
