5and they shall look up, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall blossom, and the locust shall increase, and the caper shall be scattered: because man has gone to his eternal home, and the mourners have gone about the market:
6before the silver cord be let go, or the choice gold be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel run down to the cistern;
7before the dust also return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it.
8Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher; all is vanity.
9And because the Preacher was wise above others, so it was that he taught man excellent knowledge, and the ear will trace out the parables.
10The Preacher sought diligently to find out acceptable words, and a correct writing, even words of truth.
11The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails firmly fastened, which have been given from one shepherd by agreement.
12And moreover, my son, guard yourself by means of them: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13Hear the end of the matter, the sun: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole man.
