Ecclesiastes 12 - Whom should youth remember?

VIEW:279 DATA:2021-09-01

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come and before the years come when you will say: "I am not content with them";
Before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;
when the guards of the house tremble and the strong men walk hunched over, and stop the grinders because they are few, and those who look out the windows see fog;
when the front doors are closed and the grinding sound is reduced; when the noise of birds makes you wake up, but the sound of all the songs seems to you to be weak;
when you are afraid of heights, and the dangers of the streets; when the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper is a burden and the desire is no longer awake. Then the man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners are already wandering the streets.
Yes, remember it, before the silver cord is broken, or the golden cup is broken; before the pitcher shatters at the source, the wheel breaks at the well,
the dust will return to the earth, where it came from, and the spirit will return to God, who gave it.
"All nonsense! Nonsense!" Says the master. "Nothing makes sense! Nothing makes sense!"
He also tried to find the right words, and what he wrote was straight and true.
The words of the sages are like goads, the collection of their sayings like nails well fixed, coming from the only Shepherd.
Watch out, my son; add nothing to them. There is no limit to the production of books, and studying too much exhausts the body.
Now that everything has been heard, here is the conclusion: Fear God and keep his commandments, for that is the essential for man.
For God will bring to judgment everything that has been done, including everything that is hidden, be it good or bad.
