H9020–י–y

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

בְנִ֣י (י) i “my”דְּרָכַ֥י (י) i “my”

My son, eat thou honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to thy taste;

בְּנִ֣י (י) i “my”

My son, fear thou the LORD and the king, and meddle not with them that are given to change;

בְּנִ֣י (י) i “my”

Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction.

לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that taunteth me.

בְּ֭נִי (י) i “my”לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

Remove far from me falsehood and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with mine allotted bread;

חֻקִּֽי׃ (י) i “my”

Lest I be full, and deny, and say: 'Who is the LORD?' Or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane 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 to search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; it is a sore task that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

לִבִּ֗י (י) i “my”

I spoke with my own heart, saying: 'Lo, I have gotten great wisdom, more also than all that were before me over Jerusalem'; yea, my heart hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

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

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

לִבִּי֙ (י֙) i “my”

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

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

I searched in my heart how to pamper my flesh with wine, and, my heart conducting itself with wisdom, how yet to lay hold on folly, till I might see which it was best for the sons of men that they should do under the heaven the few 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 men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;

לְפָנַ֖י (י) i “me”

So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom stood me in stead.

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 had joy of 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 I had laboured to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving 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 happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more 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 wherein I laboured under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

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

לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

I said in my heart: 'The righteous and the wicked God will judge; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.'

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

I said in my heart: 'It is because of the sons of men, that God may sift them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.'

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

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 labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches: 'for whom then do I labour, and bereave my soul of pleasure?' This also is vanity
