הֲיֵאָכֵל תָּפֵל מִבְּלִי־מֶלַח אִם־יֶשׁ־טַעַם בְּרִיר חַלָּמֽוּת
Can that which hath no savour be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the juice of mallows?
מֵאֲנָה לִנְגּוֹעַ נַפְשִׁי הֵמָּה כִּדְוֵי לַחְמִֽי
My soul refuseth to touch them; they are as the sickness of my flesh.
מִֽי־יִתֵּן תָּבוֹא שֶֽׁאֱלָתִי וְתִקְוָתִי יִתֵּן אֱלֽוֹהַּ
Oh that I might have my request, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for! .
וְיֹאֵל אֱלוֹהַּ וִֽידַכְּאֵנִי יַתֵּר יָדוֹ וִֽיבַצְּעֵֽנִי
Even that it would please God to crush me; that He would let loose His hand, and cut me off!
וּתְהִי עוֹד נֶחָמָתִי וַאֲסַלְּדָה בְחִילָה לֹא יַחְמוֹל כִּי־לֹא כִחַדְתִּי אִמְרֵי קָדֽוֹשׁ
Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would exult in pain, though He spare not; For I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
