Ecclesiastes 12:7-10

⁷And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the spirit returneth to God who gave it.

⁸Vanity of vanities, said the preacher, the whole is vanity.

⁹And further, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge, and gave ear, and sought out — he made right many similes.

¹⁰The preacher sought to find out pleasing words, and, written by the upright, words of truth.
