Ecclesiastes 12:5

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Also when [the old] are afraid of danger from that which is high, and fears are in the way, and the almond tree [their white hair] blooms, and the grasshopper [a little thing] is a burden, and desire and appetite fail, because man goes to his everlasting home and the mourners go about the streets or marketplaces.
— Ecclesiastes 12:5 (AMP)
