Ecclesiastes 12:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened, and the clouds return after the rain,
In context
1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of adversity come and the years approach of which you will say, “I find no pleasure in them,”
2 before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened, and the clouds return after the rain,
3 on the day the keepers of the house tremble and the strong men stoop, when those grinding cease because they are few and those watching through windows see dimly,
4 when the doors to the street are shut and the sound of the mill fades away, when one rises at the sound of a bird and all the daughters of song grow faint,
