Ecclesiastes 12:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 12
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.
7 E o pó volte à terra, assim como era; e o espírito volte a Deus, que o deu.
8 Futilidade das futilidades! - diz o pregador - Tudo é futilidade.
