H0589–אֲנִי–a.ni

I said to myself, "Behold, I have obtained for myself great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem. Yes, my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge."

אֲנִ֤י 'a.Ni “I”אֲנִ֗י 'a.Ni “I”

I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with mirth: therefore enjoy pleasure;" and, behold, this also was vanity.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

אֲנִ֗י 'a.Ni “I”

I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly: for what can the king's successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness--and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

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

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

I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who comes after me.

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

Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.

אֲנִ֖י 'a.Ni “I”

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is 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, "As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

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

אֲנִ֗י 'a.Ni “I”

Therefore I praised the dead who have been long dead more than the living who are yet alive.

אֲנִ֛י 'a.Ni “I”

Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man's neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

אֲנִ֜י 'a.Ni “I”

Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun.

אֲנִ֛י 'a.Ni “I”

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. For whom then, do I labor, and deprive my soul of enjoyment? This also is vanity, yes, it is a miserable business.

אֲנִ֣י 'a.Ni “[am] I”

Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.

אָ֗נִי 'A.ni “I”

I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness.

אֲנִ֤י 'a.Ni “I”

I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.

אֲנִ֜י 'a.Ni “I”

I say, "Keep the king's command!" because of the oath to God.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

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

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

I am dark, but lovely, You daughters of Jerusalem, Like Kedar's tents, Like Solomon's curtains.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”
