American Standard Version
"before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain; "
— Ecclesiastes 12:2, American Standard Version
“While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:”
“Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;”
“before the sun and the light of the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds disappear after the rain;”
“Before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars be darkened, and the clouds return after the rain:”
“While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, are not dark, and the clouds come not back after the rain;”
“While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:”
Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;
in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows shall be darkened,
and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
yea, they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:
