H9020–י–y

My son, give me your heart; And let your eyes keep in my ways.

בְנִ֣י (י) i “my”דְּרָכַ֥י (י) i “my”

My son, eat honey, for it is good; The droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste:

בְּנִ֣י (י) i “my”

My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious:

בְּנִ֣י (י) i “my”

Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:

לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

Be wise, my son, And bring joy to my heart, Then I can answer my tormentor.

בְּ֭נִי (י) i “my”לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me;

חֻקִּֽי׃ (י) i “my”

Lest I be full, deny you, and say, 'Who is Yahweh?' Or lest I be poor, and steal, And so dishonor the name of my God.

אֱלֹהָֽי׃ (י) i “my”

"Oh, my son!" Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!

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

I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

לִבִּ֗י (י) i “my”

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."

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

I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.

לִבִּי֙ (י֙) i “my”

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

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives.

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

I made myself great works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards.

מַעֲשָׂ֑י (י) i “my”

I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem;

לְפָנַ֖י (י) i “me”

So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.

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

Whatever my eyes desired, I didn't keep from them. I didn't withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored 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, "As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

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.
