[1]
	²וְשַׁבֵּ֧חַ אֲנִ֛י [3] Tevir אֶת־הַמֵּתִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha שֶׁכְּבָ֣ר מֵ֑תוּ [1] Etnachta מִן־הַ֣חַיִּ֔ים [2] Zaqef אֲשֶׁ֛ר [3] Tevir הֵ֥מָּה חַיִּ֖ים [2] Tip'cha עֲדֶֽנָה׃ [1] Silluq		²So I, I considered fortunate [3] the dead [2] who have already died; [1] more than the living [2] who [3] are alive [2] still.

[1]
	⁵הַכְּסִיל֙ [3] Pashta חֹבֵ֣ק אֶת־יָדָ֔יו [2] Zaqef וְאֹכֵ֖ל [2] Tip'cha אֶת־בְּשָׂרֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq		⁵The fool [3] folds his hands, [2] and eats [2] his own flesh. [1]

[1]

	¹⁰כִּ֣י אִם־יִפֹּ֔לוּ [2] Zaqef הָאֶחָ֖ד [2] Tip'cha יָקִ֣ים אֶת־חֲבֵר֑וֹ [1] Etnachta וְאִ֣יל֗וֹ [3] Revi'i הָֽאֶחָד֙ [3] Pashta שֶׁיִּפּ֔וֹל [2] Zaqef וְאֵ֥ין שֵׁנִ֖י [2] Tip'cha לַהֲקִימֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁰For if they fall - [2] the one, [2] he will lift up his companion; [1] but woe to him [3] who alone [3] he falls down, [2] and there is no other [2] to lift him up. [1]
	¹¹גַּ֛ם [3] Tevir אִם־יִשְׁכְּב֥וּ שְׁנַ֖יִם [2] Tip'cha וְחַ֣ם לָהֶ֑ם [1] Etnachta וּלְאֶחָ֖ד [2] Tip'cha אֵ֥יךְ יֵחָֽם׃ [1] Silluq		¹¹Also [3] if two lie down together [2] then warmth they will have; [1] but for one alone, [2] how will he be warm? [1]
	¹²וְאִֽם־יִתְקְפוֹ֙ [3] Pashta הָאֶחָ֔ד [2] Zaqef הַשְּׁנַ֖יִם [2] Tip'cha יַעַמְד֣וּ נֶגְדּ֑וֹ [1] Etnachta וְהַחוּט֙ [3] Pashta הַֽמְשֻׁלָּ֔שׁ [2] Zaqef לֹ֥א בִמְהֵרָ֖ה [2] Tip'cha יִנָּתֵֽק׃ [1] Silluq		¹²And though a person might overpower him, [3] one who is alone, [2] two, [2] they can stand against him; [1] and the cord [3] that is threefold, [2] not quickly [2] can it be broken. [1]
	¹³ט֛וֹב [3] Tevir יֶ֥לֶד מִסְכֵּ֖ן [2] Tip'cha וְחָכָ֑ם [1] Etnachta מִמֶּ֤לֶךְ זָקֵן֙ [3] Pashta וּכְסִ֔יל [2] Zaqef אֲשֶׁ֛ר [3] Tevir לֹא־יָדַ֥ע לְהִזָּהֵ֖ר [2] Tip'cha עֽוֹד׃ [1] Silluq		¹³Better [3] is a youth who is poor [2] and wise; [1] than a king who is old [3] and foolish, [2] who [3] doesn't know how to take warning [2] anymore. [1]
	¹⁴כִּֽי־מִבֵּ֥ית הָסוּרִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha יָצָ֣א לִמְלֹ֑ךְ [1] Etnachta כִּ֛י [3] Tevir גַּ֥ם בְּמַלְכוּת֖וֹ [2] Tip'cha נוֹלַ֥ד רָֽשׁ׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁴For from prison [2] he came out to become king; [1] though [3] also in his own kingdom [2] he had been born poor. [1]
	¹⁵רָאִ֙יתִי֙ [3 3] Pashta אֶת־כׇּל־הַ֣חַיִּ֔ים [2] Zaqef הַֽמְהַלְּכִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ [1] Etnachta עִ֚ם [3] Yetiv הַיֶּ֣לֶד הַשֵּׁנִ֔י [2] Zaqef אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַעֲמֹ֖ד [2] Tip'cha תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁵I saw [3 3] all the living [2] who walk about [2] under the sun; [1] with [3] the second youth [2] who will arise [2] in his place. [1]
	¹⁶אֵֽין־קֵ֣ץ לְכׇל־הָעָ֗ם [3] Revi'i לְכֹ֤ל אֲשֶׁר־הָיָה֙ [3] Pashta לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם [2] Zaqef גַּ֥ם הָאַחֲרוֹנִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha לֹ֣א יִשְׂמְחוּ־ב֑וֹ [1] Etnachta כִּֽי־גַם־זֶ֥ה הֶ֖בֶל [2] Tip'cha וְרַעְי֥וֹן רֽוּחַ׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁶There was no end to all the people, [3] to all whom he was [3] before them, [2] yet those who come after, [2] they shall not rejoice in him. [1] Surely this too is futility [2] and a striving after the wind. [1]
	¹⁷שְׁמֹ֣ר רגליך *רַגְלְךָ֗ [3] Revi'i כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר תֵּלֵךְ֙ [3] Pashta אֶל־בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים [2] Zaqef וְקָר֣וֹב לִשְׁמֹ֔עַ [2] Zaqef מִתֵּ֥ת הַכְּסִילִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha זָ֑בַח [1] Etnachta כִּֽי־אֵינָ֥ם יוֹדְעִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת רָֽע׃ [1] Silluq		¹Watch your step [3] when you go [3] to the house of God, [2] and draw near to listen, [2] rather than the offering of fools [2] of a sacrifice; [1] for they do not know [2] (whether they) do evil.
