5 yes, they shall be afraid of heights, and terrors will be on the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets: [3 3] |
|||
| 6 עַ֣ד אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־*ירחק **יֵרָתֵק֙ [3] Pashta חֶ֣בֶל הַכֶּ֔סֶף [2] Zaqef גֻּלַּ֣ת הַזָּהָ֑ב [1] Etnachta עַל־הַמַּבּ֔וּעַ [2] Zaqef אֶל־הַבּֽוֹר׃ [1] Silluq |

9 Further, because Kohelet was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs. [2] |
|||
| 10 בִּקֵּ֣שׁ קֹהֶ֔לֶת [2] Zaqef לִמְצֹ֖א [2] Tip'cha דִּבְרֵי־חֵ֑פֶץ [1] Etnachta דִּבְרֵ֥י אֱמֶֽת׃ [1] Silluq |

11 The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. [3] |
|||
| 12 וְיֹתֵ֥ר מֵהֵ֖מָּה [2] Tip'cha בְּנִ֣י הִזָּהֵ֑ר [1] Etnachta אֵ֣ין קֵ֔ץ [2] Zaqef יְגִעַ֥ת בָּשָֽׂר׃ [1] Silluq |
12 Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. ¶ [2] |
