Ecclesiastes 12:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 12
4 Y las puertas de afuera se cerrarán, por la bajeza de la voz de la muela; y levantaráse á la voz del ave, y todas las hijas de canción serán humilladas;
5 [Cuando] también temerán de lo alto, y los tropezones en el camino; y florecerá el almendro, y se agravará la langosta, y perderáse el apetito: porque el hombre va á la casa de su siglo, y los endechadores andarán en derredor por la plaza:
6 Antes que la cadena de plata se quiebre, y se rompa el cuenco de oro, y el cántaro se quiebre junto á la fuente, y la rueda sea rota sobre el pozo;
7 Y el polvo se torne á la tierra, como era, y el espíritu se vuelva á Dios que lo dió.
8 Vanidad de vanidades, dijo el Predicador, todo vanidad.
