Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and pulley is broken from the well. For then the dust will return to earth and the spirit will return to God who gave it. (vv. 6-7, NLT)
That’s the while story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey His commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad. (vv. 13-14, NLT)
