H0589–אֲנִי–a.ni

I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have become great and have acquired wisdom more than all they that have been before me over Jerusalem; and my heart hath seen much of wisdom and knowledge.

אֲנִ֤י 'a.Ni “I”אֲנִ֗י 'a.Ni “I”

I said in my heart, Come now, I will try thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure. But behold, this also is vanity.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that it had cost me to do [supplied: them]; and behold, all was vanity and pursuit of the wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

אֲנִ֗י 'a.Ni “I”

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly; for what shall the man [supplied: do] that cometh after the king? -- that which hath already been done.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

And I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as light excelleth darkness.

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness; but I myself also perceived that one event happeneth to them all.

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

And I said in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool so will it happen even to me; and why was I then so wise? Then I said in my heart that this also is vanity.

אֲנִ֜י 'a.Ni “I”אֲנִ֣י 'a.Ni “me”אֲנִ֖י 'a.Ni “I”

And I hated all my labour wherewith I had been toiling under the sun, because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”שֶׁאֲנִ֥י (אֲנִ֥י) 'a.Ni “I”

Then I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour wherewith I had laboured under the sun.

אֲנִ֖י 'a.Ni “I”

There is nothing good for man, but that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

I said in my heart, It is thus with the children of men, that God may prove them, and that they should see that they themselves are but beasts.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

And I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors was power, and they had no comforter.

אֲנִ֗י 'a.Ni “I”

Then I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive;

אֲנִ֛י 'a.Ni “I”

And I saw all labour, and all success of work, that it is man's jealousy of his neighbour. This also is vanity and pursuit of the wind.

אֲנִ֜י 'a.Ni “I”

And I returned and saw vanity under the sun.

אֲנִ֛י 'a.Ni “I”

There is one [supplied: alone] and without a second; also he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, and [supplied: he saith not], For whom then am I labouring, and depriving my soul of good? This also is vanity and a grievous occupation.

אֲנִ֣י 'a.Ni “[am] I”

Behold what I have seen good and comely: [supplied: it is] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labour wherewith [supplied: man] laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for that is his portion.

אָ֗נִי 'A.ni “I”

I turned, I and my heart, to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom and reason, and to know wickedness to be folly, and foolishness to be madness;

אֲנִ֤י 'a.Ni “I”

and I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is nets and snares, [supplied: and] whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her.

אֲנִ֜י 'a.Ni “I”

I [supplied: say], Keep the king's commandment, and [supplied: that] on account of the oath of God.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his [supplied: days], yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, because they fear before him;

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

And I commended mirth, because there is nothing better for man under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry; for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength; but the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

I am black, but comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”
