Ecclesiastes 12:4 in Context — Ecclesiastes 12
2 Antes que se escureçam o sol, a luz, a lua e as estrelas; e voltem as nuvens após a chuva.
3 No dia em que os guardas da casa tremerem, e os homens fortes se encurvarem; e cessarem os moedores, por terem diminuído, e se escurecerem os que olham pelas janelas;
4 E as portas da rua se fecharem, enquanto se abaixa o ruído da moedura; e se levantar a voz das aves, e todas as vozes do canto se encurvarem.
5 Como também [quando] temerem as coisas altas, e houver espantos no caminho; e florescer a amendoeira, e o gafanhoto se tornar pesado, e acabar o apetite; porque o homem vai para sua casa eterna, e os que choram andarão ao redor da praça;
6 Antes que se afrouxe a correia de prata, e de despedace a vasilha de ouro; e se quebre o vaso junto à fonte, e se despedace a roda junto ao poço.
