H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

'Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine branch which grew up among the trees of the forest?

יִּֽהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “is it”הָיָ֖ה ha.Yah “it is”

Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is singed, shall it yet be meet for any work?

בִּֽהְיוֹת֣וֹ (הְיוֹת֣) h.yo.T “was”

Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and, behold, thy time was the time of love, I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; yea, I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest Mine

וַתִּ֥הְיִי (תִּ֥הְיִי) Tih.yi “you belonged”

But thou didst trust in thy beauty and play the harlot because of thy renown, and didst pour out thy harlotries on every one that passed by; his it was.

יֶֽהִי׃ Ye.hi “let it belong”

And thou didst take of thy garments, and didst make for thee high places decked with divers colours, and didst play the harlot upon them; the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

יִהְיֶֽה׃ yih.Yeh “it will be”

My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savour, and thus it was; saith the Lord GOD.

וַיֶּ֑הִי (יֶּ֑הִי) i.Ye.hi “it was”

And in all thine abominations and thy harlotries thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast wallowing in thy blood.

בִּֽהְיוֹתֵךְ֙ (הְיוֹתֵ) h.yo.te “were”הָיִֽית׃ ha.Yit “you were”

And it came to pass after all thy wickedness--woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD--

וַיְהִ֕י (יְהִ֕י) y.Hi “it was”

in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street; and hast not been as a harlot that enhanceth her hire.

הָיִ֥ית ha.yi.t “you were”

And the contrary is in thee from other women, in that thou didst solicit to harlotry, and wast not solicited; and in that thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, thus thou art contrary.

וַיְהִי־ (יְהִי) y.hi- “it was”וַתְּהִ֥י (תְּהִ֥י) te.Hi “you became”

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

הָיָ֔ה ha.Yah “it was”הָ֤יָה Ha.yah “it belonged”

For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride;

הָֽיְתָה֙ ha.ye.Tah “did she become?”

that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame; when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.'

יִֽהְיֶה־ yih.yeh- “it will belong”

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.

וַיְהִי֩ (יְהִי֩) y.Hi “it became”יִֽהְי֑וּ yih.Yu “they were”וַתְּהִ֣י (תְּהִ֣י) te.Hi “it became”

There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.

וַיְהִ֤י (יְהִ֤י) y.Hi “it was”

It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a stately vine.

לִהְי֖וֹת (הְי֖וֹת) h.Yot “become”

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

that his might be a lowly kingdom, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

לִֽהְיוֹת֙ (הְיוֹת֙) h.yOt “be”

in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a stately cedar; and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing, in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

וְהָיָ֖ה (הָיָ֖ה) ha.Yah “it will become”

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it came”

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

יִֽהְיֶ֨ה yih.Yeh “it will belong”

But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “he will be”

hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live--he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely be put to death, his blood shall be upon him.

יִהְיֶֽה׃ yih.Yeh “it will be”
