H0589–אֲנִי–a.ni

I communed with mine own hear, saying, Lo, I have gotten me great wisdom above all that were before me in Jerusalem; yea, my heart hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

אֲנִ֤י 'a.Ni “I”אֲנִ֗י 'a.Ni “I”

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

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after 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 [ergänzt: can] the man [ergänzt: do] that cometh after the king? [ergänzt: even] that which hath been done long ago.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

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

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

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

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth 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”

And I hated all my labor wherein I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

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

Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor wherein I had labored under the sun.

אֲנִ֖י 'a.Ni “I”

There is nothing better for a man [ergänzt: 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, [ergänzt: It is] because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are [ergänzt: but as] beasts.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of such as 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”

Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;

אֲנִ֛י 'a.Ni “I”

Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his 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 that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, [ergänzt: saith he], do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

אֲנִ֣י 'a.Ni “[am] I”

Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, wherein he laboreth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for this is his portion.

אָ֗נִי 'A.ni “I”

I turned about, and my heart [ergänzt: was set] to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason [ergänzt: of things], and to know that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness.

אֲנִ֤י 'a.Ni “I”

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

אֲנִ֜י 'a.Ni “I”

I [ergänzt: counsel thee], Keep the king's command, and that in regard of the oath of God.

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”

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

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that shall abide with him in his labor [ergänzt: all] 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: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

אָ֔נִי 'A.ni “I”

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

אֲנִי֙ 'a.Ni “I”
