Chapter 12 Remember now thy Creator in the
days of thy youth, while the evil days

00:06.000 --> 00:10.680
come not, nor the years draw nigh,
when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in

00:10.680 --> 00:10.860
them.

00:11.400 --> 00:16.640
While the sun or the light or the moon or
the stars be not darkened, nor the clouds

00:16.640 --> 00:20.540
return after the rain, in the day when the
keepers of the house shall tremble,

00:20.960 --> 00:24.640
and the strong men shall bow themselves,
and the grinders cease because they are

00:24.640 --> 00:28.800
few, and those that look out of the
windows be darkened, and the doors shall

00:28.800 --> 00:33.640
be shut in the streets, when the sound of
the grinding is low, and he shall rise up

00:33.640 --> 00:37.660
at the voice of the bird, and all the
daughters of music shall be brought low.

00:38.160 --> 00:42.760
Also, when they shall be afraid of that
which is high, and fears shall be in the

00:42.760 --> 00:46.820
way, and the almond tree shall flourish,
and the grasshopper shall be a burden,

00:47.380 --> 00:52.160
and desire shall fail, because man goeth
to his long home, and the mourners go

00:52.160 --> 00:53.020
about the streets.

00:53.840 --> 00:58.200
Forever the silver cord be loosed,
or the golden bowl be broken, or the

00:58.200 --> 01:02.020
pitcher be broken at the fountain,
or the wheel broken at the cistern.

01:02.700 --> 01:07.140
Then shall the dust return to the earth as
it was, and the spirit shall return unto

01:07.140 --> 01:08.160
God who gave it.

01:08.840 --> 01:12.720
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher,
all is vanity.

01:13.480 --> 01:17.360
And moreover, because the preacher was
wise, he still taught the people

01:17.360 --> 01:17.820
knowledge.

01:18.800 --> 01:23.180
Yea, he gave good heed, and sought out,
and set in order many proverbs.

01:23.180 --> 01:28.020
The preacher sought to find out acceptable
words, and that which was written was

01:28.020 --> 01:30.040
upright, even words of truth.

01:30.780 --> 01:35.180
The words of the wise are as goads,
and as nails fastened by the masters of

01:35.180 --> 01:37.460
assemblies, which are given from one
shepherd.

01:38.100 --> 01:42.700
And further, by these my son be
admonished, of making many books there is

01:42.700 --> 01:45.780
no end, and much study is a weariness of
the flesh.

01:46.420 --> 01:48.340
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole
matter.

01:49.000 --> 01:53.740
Fear God, and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.

01:54.240 --> 01:57.840
For God shall bring every work into
judgment, with every secret thing,

01:58.500 --> 02:00.800
whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
