Ecclesiastes 12:8 BBE

⁶  Before ever the silver cord is cut, or the vessel of gold is broken, or the pot is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the water-hole;

⁷  And the dust goes back to the earth as it was, and the spirit goes back to God who gave it.

⁸  All things are to no purpose, says the Preacher, all is to no purpose.

⁹  And because the Preacher was wise he still gave the people knowledge; searching out, testing, and putting in order a great number of wise sayings.

¹⁰  The Preacher made search for words which were pleasing, but his writing was in words upright and true.
