Ecclesiastes 12:8

Motløshet og depresjonDøden og å miste noen

6 Remember Him before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is crushed, before the pitcher is shattered at the spring and the wheel is broken at the well,

7 before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

“Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile!”

9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also taught the people knowledge; he pondered, searched out, and arranged many proverbs.

10 The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.
