⁴ Then the double doors to the street are shut,
    as the grinding of the mill grows quiet.
A person wakes up at the sound of a bird,
but all the sounds of music are muffled.
⁵ Then they fear heights and terrors along the road.
The almond blossoms become white.
The grasshopper drags himself along,
and the caperberry has no effect.^[a]
Why? Because the man is heading to his eternal home.
Then the wailing mourners will go around in the street.
⁶ Remember your Creator
    before the silver cord is snapped,
    and the golden bowl is broken,
    before the jar is shattered by the spring,
    and the waterwheel is broken by the well,
