My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways.

בְנִ֣י (י) i “my”דְּרָכַ֥י (י) i “my”

My son, take honey, for it is good; and the flowing honey, which is sweet to your taste:

בְּנִ֣י (י) i “my”

My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:

בְּנִ֣י (י) i “my”

Then looking at it, I gave thought: I saw, and I got teaching from it.

לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.

בְּ֭נִי (י) i “my”לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

Put far from me all false and foolish things: do not give me great wealth or let me be in need, but give me only enough food:

חֻקִּֽי׃ (י) i “my”

For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly.

אֱלֹהָֽי׃ (י) i “my”

What am I to say to you, O Lemuel, my oldest son? and what, O son of my body? and what, O son of my oaths?

בְּ֭רִי (י) i “my”בִּטְנִ֑י (י) i “my”נְדָרָֽי׃ (י) i “my”

And I gave my heart to searching out in wisdom all things which are done under heaven: it is a hard thing which God has put on the sons of men to do.

לִבִּ֗י (י) i “my”

I said to my heart, See, I have become great and am increased in wisdom more than any who were before me in Jerusalem--yes, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.

לִבִּי֙ (י֙) i “my”לְפָנַ֖י (י) i “me”וְלִבִּ֛י (י) i “my”

And I gave my heart to getting knowledge of wisdom, and of the ways of the foolish. And I saw that this again was desire for wind.

לִבִּי֙ (י֙) i “my”

I said in my heart, I will give you joy for a test; so take your pleasure--but it was to no purpose.

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.

בְלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”בְּשָׂרִ֑י (י) i “my”וְלִבִּ֞י (י) i “my”

I undertook great works, building myself houses and planting vine-gardens.

מַעֲשָׂ֑י (י) i “my”

I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

לְפָנַ֖י (י) i “me”

And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me.

לְפָנַ֖י (י) i “me”חָכְמָתִ֖י (י) i “my”

And nothing which was desired by my eyes did I keep from them; I did not keep any joy from my heart, because my heart took pleasure in all my work, and this was my reward.

עֵינַ֔י (י) i “my”לִבִּ֜י (י) i “my”לִבִּ֤י (י) i “my”עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”חֶלְקִ֖י (י) i “my”עֲמָלִֽי׃ (י) i “my”

Then I saw all the works which my hands had made, and everything I had been working to do; and I saw that all was to no purpose and desire for wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

מַעֲשַׂי֙ (י֙) i “my”יָדַ֔י (י) i “my”

Then said I in my heart: As it comes to the foolish man, so will it come to me; so why have I been wise overmuch? Then I said in my heart: This again is to no purpose.

בְּלִבִּ֗י (י) i “my”בְלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

And who is to say if that man will be wise or foolish? But he will have power over all my work which I have done and in which I have been wise under the sun. This again is to no purpose.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

So my mind was turned to grief for all the trouble I had taken and all my wisdom under the sun.

לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

I said in my heart, God will be judge of the good and of the bad; because a time for every purpose and for every work has been fixed by him.

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, so that God may put them to the test and that they may see themselves as beasts.

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter wo
