My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

בְנִ֣י (י) i “my”דְּרָכַ֥י (י) i “my”

Eat honey, my son, for it is good; and a honeycomb is sweet to thy taste:

בְּנִ֣י (י) i “my”

My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change.

בְּנִ֣י (י) i “my”

Then I looked, I took it to heart; I saw, I received instruction:

לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me.

בְּ֭נִי (י) i “my”לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread of my daily need:

חֻקִּֽי׃ (י) i “my”

lest I be full and deny [supplied: thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor and steal, and outrage the name of my God.

אֱלֹהָֽי׃ (י) i “my”

What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? and what, O son of my vows?

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

And I applied my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: this grievous occupation hath God given to the children of men to weary themselves therewith.

לִבִּ֗י (י) i “my”

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.

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

And I applied my heart to the knowledge of wisdom, and to the knowledge of madness and folly: I perceived that this also is a striving after the wind.

לִבִּי֙ (י֙) i “my”

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

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

I searched in my heart how to cherish my flesh with wine, while practising my heart with wisdom; and how to lay hold on folly, till I should see what was that good for the children of men which they should do under the heavens all the days of their life.

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

I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;

מַעֲשָׂ֑י (י) i “my”

I acquired servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that had been in Jerusalem before me.

לְפָנַ֖י (י) i “me”

And I became great, and increased more than all that had been before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

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

And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them: I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour, and this was my portion from all my labour.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

And who knoweth whether he will be a wise [supplied: man] or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour at which I have laboured, and wherein I have been wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

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

לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

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.

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

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.

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

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.
