2. Remember your Creator before the sun, the light, the moon,and the stars turn dark, ⌊and⌋ the clouds come back with rain.
3. Remember your Creator when those who guard the house tremble,strong men are stooped over,the women at the mill stop grindingbecause there are so few of them,⌊and⌋ those who look out of the windowssee a dim light.
4. Remember your Creator when the doors to the street are closed,the sound of the mill is muffled,you are startled at the sound of a bird,⌊and⌋ those who sing songs become quiet.
5. Remember your Creator when someone is afraid of heightsand of dangers along the road,the almond tree blossoms,the grasshopper drags itself along,⌊and⌋ the caper bush has ⌊no⌋ fruit.Mortals go to their eternal rest, and mourners go out in the streets.
6. Remember your Creator before the silver cord is snapped,the golden bowl is broken,the pitcher is smashed near the spring,and the water wheel is broken at the cistern.
