Ecclesiastes 12:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

The Problems of Old Age

12 Remember your Creator while you are young, before the bad times come—before the years come when you say, “I have wasted my life.”^[a]

² Remember your Creator while you are young, before the time comes when the sun and the moon and the stars become dark to you—before problems come again and again like one storm after another.

³ At that time your arms will lose their strength. Your legs will become weak and bent. Your teeth will fall out, and you will not be able to chew your food. Your eyes will not see clearly.
