« Ecclesiastes » « 7 » : « 10 »

אַל־תֹּאמַר֙ מֶ֣ה הָיָ֔ה שֶׁ֤הַיָּמִים֙ הָרִ֣אשֹׁנִ֔ים הָי֥וּ טוֹבִ֖ים מֵאֵ֑לֶּה כִּ֛י לֹ֥א מֵחָכְמָ֖ה שָׁאַ֥לְתָּ עַל־זֶֽה׃

·Debug: verse number 20141Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is unwise of you to ask about this.

/ʾal tōmár me hāyā́ še ha-y-yāmīm hā rišōnīm hāyū́ ṭōvī́m mē ʾḗlle kī lō mē ḥoxmā́ šāʾáltā ʿal ze /
