Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Ecclesiastes 12

Deli

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.

For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”: While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars, Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain

Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “All is vanity.”
