Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my reproacher a word.

בְּ֭נִי (י) i “my”לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,

I -- I spake with my heart, saying, `I, lo, I have magnified and added wisdom above every one who hath been before me at Jerusalem, and my heart hath seen abundantly wisdom and knowledge.

I said in my heart, `Pray, come, I try thee with mirth, and look thou on gladness;' and lo, even it `is' vanity.

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite, (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly till that I see where `is' this -- the good to the sons of man of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days of their lives.

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

I made great my works, I builded for me houses, I planted for me vineyards.

מַעֲשָׂ֑י (י) i “my”

I got men-servants, and maid-servants, and sons of the house were to me; also, I had much substance -- herd and flock -- above all who had been before me in Jerusalem.

לְפָנַ֖י (י) i “me”

And I became great, and increased above every one who had been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me.

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

And all that mine eyes asked I kept not back from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labour, and this hath been my portion, from all my labour,

and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done, and on the labour that I have laboured to do, and lo, the whole `is' vanity and vexation of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun!

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

and I said in my heart, `As it happeneth with the fool, it happeneth also with me, and why am I then more wise?' And I spake in my heart, that also this `is' vanity:

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

And I have hated all my labour that I labour at under the sun, because I leave it to a man who is after me.

עֲמָלִ֔י (י) i “my”

לִבִּ֑י (י) i “my”

I said in my heart, `The righteous and the wicked doth God judge, for a time `is' to every matter and for every work there.'

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”

I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves `are' beasts.

בְּלִבִּ֔י (י) i “my”
