Ecclesiastes 12:6

[Now comes the conclusion, which begins with "before" and refers back to verse 1: Fear the Lord and bow down before him before you die. Here is a poetic image of some common causes of death:]
Before the silver cord is severed [the nervous system stops functioning],
or the golden bowl is broken [the brain ceases to function],
or the pitcher is shattered at the spring [the right ventricle of the heart bursts],
or the wheel is broken at the well [the left ventricle of the heart bursts].
