Ecclesiastes 12:1-7
So remember your Creator in the days of your youth: Before the days of adversity come, and the years approach when you will say,“ I have no delight in them”;before the sun and the light are darkened, and the moon and the stars, and the clouds return after the rain;on the day when the guardians of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, the women who grind cease because they are few, and the ones who watch through the windows see dimly,the doors at the street are shut while the sound of the mill fades; when one rises at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song grow faint.Also, they are afraid of heights and dangers on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper loses its spring, and the caper berry has no effect; for man is headed to his eternal home, and mourners will walk around in the street;before the silver cord is snapped, and the gold bowl is broken, and the jar is shattered at the spring, and the wheel is broken into the well;and the dust returns to the earth as it once was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

2 Samuel 19 35

The Philistines again waged war against Israel. David went down with his soldiers, and they fought the Philistines, but David became exhausted.Then Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of the giant, whose bronze spear weighed about eight pounds and who wore new armor, intended to kill David.But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him:“ You must never again go out with us to battle. You must not extinguish the lamp of Israel.”
