When all the daughters of music shall be brought low, when terrors will be on the way,
when the almond tree blossoms, and the grasshopper shall be a burden,
man shall go to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets,
before the silver cord is severed, before the golden bowl is broken,
or the pitcher is broken at the spring, or the wheel broken at the cistern,
the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
