Ecclesiastes 12:3-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

3. Your body will grow feeble,your teeth will decay,and your eyesight fail.

4. The noisy grinding of grainwill be shut outby your deaf ears,but even the song of a birdwill keep you awake.

5. You will be afraidto climb up a hillor walk down a road.Your hair will turn as whiteas almond blossoms.You will feel lifelessand drag alonglike an old grasshopper.We each go to our eternal home,and the streets are filledwith those who mourn.

6. The silver cord snaps,the golden bowl breaks;the water pitcher is smashed,and the pulley at the wellis shattered.
