Or 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.
Antes de que se rompa el cordón de plata, o se quiebre el tazón de oro, o se haga pedazos el cántaro junto a la fuente, o se rompa la polea junto al pozo.
La muerte llega cuando se rompen las cosas preciosas e importantes de la vida.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Ecclesiastes is a book in the Old Testament, traditionally attributed to King Solomon, written during a time when ancient Israelites reflected on the meaninglessness of life apart from God amidst the uncertainties of existence. In chapter 12, the author uses vivid metaphors drawn from everyday ancient Near Eastern life, such as cords and vessels, to poetically describe the frailty of the human body and the approach of death. This verse serves as a somber reminder within the book's conclusion to prepare for life's end by turning to wisdom and faith.
