NET Bible
"before the sun and the light of the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds disappear after the rain;"
— Ecclesiastes 12:2, NET Bible
“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, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and 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, 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:”
Fear God Now Because Old Age and Death Come Quickly So remember your Creator in the days of your youth– before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you will say,“I have no pleasure in them”;
before the sun and the light of the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds disappear after the rain;
when those who keep watch over the house begin to tremble, and the virile men begin to stoop over, and the grinders begin to cease because they grow few, and those who look through the windows grow dim,
and the doors along the street are shut; when the sound of the grinding mill grows low, and one is awakened by the sound of a bird, and all their songs grow faint,
and they are afraid of heights and the dangers in the street; the almond blossoms grow white, and the grasshopper drags itself along, and the caper berry shrivels up– because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about in the streets–
