Before the evil days come, and the years draw near,12:8 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher;
When you will say, "I have no pleasure in them;"
12:2 Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened,
And the clouds return after the rain;
12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble,
And the strong men shall bow themselves,
And the grinders cease because they are few,
And those who look out of the windows are darkened,
12:4 And the doors shall be shut in the street;
When the sound of the grinding is low,
And one shall rise up at the voice of a bird,
And all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
12:5 Yes, they shall be afraid of heights,
And terrors will be in the way;
And the almond tree shall blossom,
And the grasshopper shall be a burden,
And desire shall fail;
Because man goes to his everlasting home,
And the mourners go about the streets:
12:6 Before the silver cord is severed,
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher is broken at the spring,
Or the wheel broken at the cistern,
12:7 And the dust returns to the earth as it was,
And the spirit returns to God who gave it.
12:13 This is the end of the matter. All has
been heard.
Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this
is the whole duty of man.
12:14 For God will bring every work into judgment,
with every hidden thing, whether it is good,
or whether it is evil.
May this book provoke you to action and be the foundation of your lifestyle. Alot of people have different opinions about life. But what is their opinion compared to the Word of God? Reckon the Word as holy, separate from human opinion.
In conclusion I say FEAR AND OBEY GOD, for he will judge all of us for every particular thing we do.
