Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Auch fürchten sie sich vor der Höhe, und Schrecknisse sind auf dem Wege; und der Mandelbaum steht in Blüte, und die Heuschrecke schleppt sich hin, und die Kaper ist wirkungslos. Denn der Mensch geht hin zu seinem ewigen Hause, und die Klagenden ziehen umher auf der Straße; -
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Cuando también temerán de lo alto, y los tropezones en el camino; y florecerá el almendro, y se agravará la langosta, y perderáse el apetito: porque el hombre va á la casa de su siglo, y los endechadores andarán en derredor por la plaza:
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Como também quando temerem as coisas altas, e houver espantos no caminho; e florescer a amendoeira, e o gafanhoto se tornar pesado, e acabar o apetite; porque o homem vai para sua casa eterna, e os que choram andarão ao redor da praça;
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Chegará o tempo quando os homens terão medo de altura e de perigos nas estradas, quando a amendoeira florescer, quando os gafanhotos se arrastarem, e quando os desejos naturais falharem. Então, o homem irá para o lar eterno e os enlutados descerão pelas ruas.

📖 Ecclesiastes 12:5 in Context

3In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
4And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
5Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
6Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
