The pathos of extreme old age so vividly described here in such poignant detail. Brel was part of a volunteer acting troop that entertained in old age homes when he was young. Perhaps that was where he drew his inspiration for this song. He performed it often and it is considered a masterpiece.

He was not describing he own home but the home of an old couple. "Antique verbs" makes no sense to me. Maybe "words of yesteryear " would be an alternative.

It's not "old bible", but "antique verbs"...
Jacques Brel was atheist!
