1 Remember 2142 now thy Creator 1254 in the days 3117 of thy youth 979, while the evil 7451 days 3117 come 935 not, nor the years 8141 draw nigh 5060, when thou shalt say 559, I have no pleasure 2656 in them;
2 While the sun 8121, or the light 216, or the moon 3394, or the stars 3556, be not darkened 2821, nor the clouds 5645 return 7725 after 310 the rain 1653:
3 In the day 3117 when the keepers 8104 of the house 1004 shall tremble 2111, and the strong 2428 men 582 shall bow 5791 themselves, and the grinders 2912 cease 988 because they are few 4591, and those that look out 7200 of the windows 699 be darkened 2821,
4 And the doors 1817 shall be shut 5462 in the streets 7784, when the sound 6963 of the grinding 2913 is low 8217, and he shall rise up 6965 at the voice 6963 of the bird 6833, and all the daughters 1323 of musick 7892 shall be brought low 7817;
5 Also when they shall be afraid 3372 of that which is high 1364, and fears 2849 shall be in the way 1870, and the almond tree 8247 shall flourish 5006, and the grasshopper 2284 shall be a burden 5445, and desire 35 shall fail 6565: because man 120 goeth 1980 to his long 5769 home 1004, and the mourners 5594 go about 5437 the streets 7784:
6 Or ever 3808 the silver 3701 cord 2256 be loosed 7576 7368, or the golden 2091 bowl 1543 be broken 7533, or the pitcher 3537 be broken 7665 at the fountain 4002, or the wheel 1534 broken 7533 at the cistern 953.
7 Then shall the dust 6083 return 7725 to the earth 776 as it was: and the spirit 7307 shall return 7725 unto God 430 who gave 5414 it.
8 Vanity 1892 of vanities 1892, saith 559 the preacher 6953; all is vanity 1892.
9 And moreover 3148, because the preacher 6953 was wise 2450, he still taught 3925 the people 5971 knowledge 1847; yea, he gave good heed 239, and sought out 2713, and set in order 8626 many 7235 proverbs 4912.
10 The preacher 6953 sought 1245 to find out 4672 acceptable 2656 words 1697: and that which was written 3789 was upright 3476, even words 1697 of truth 571.
11 The words 1697 of the wise 2450 are as goads 1861, and as nails 4930 fastened 5193 by the masters 1167 of assemblies 627, which are given 5414 from one 259 shepherd 7462.
12 And further 3148, by these 1992, my son 1121, be admonished 2094: of making 6213 many 7235 books 5612 there is no end 7093; and much 7235 study 3854 is a weariness 3024 of the flesh 1320.
13 Let us hear 8085 the conclusion 5490 of the whole matter 1697: Fear 3372 God 430, and keep 8104 his commandments 4687: for this is the whole duty of man 120.
14 For God 430 shall bring 935 every work 4639 into judgment 4941, with every secret thing 5956, whether it be good 2896, or whether it be evil 7451.
