6or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern;
7and the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it.
8Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity.
9And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
