^{6 Ref} before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,

^{7 Ref} and the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it.

^{8 Ref} Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity.

^{6 Ref} Before the silver cord is severed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher is broken at the spring, Or the wheel broken at the cistern,

^{7 Ref} And the dust returns to the earth as it was, And the spirit returns to God who gave it.

^{8 Ref} Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; All is vanity!
