וְהָיָה רֵאשִׁיתְךָ מִצְעָר וְאַחֲרִיתְךָ יִשְׂגֶּה מְאֹֽד
And though thy beginning was small, Yet thy end should greatly increase.
כִּֽי־שְׁאַל־נָא לְדֹר רִישׁוֹן וְכוֹנֵן לְחֵקֶר אֲבוֹתָֽם
For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out—
כִּֽי־תְמוֹל אֲנַחְנוּ וְלֹא נֵדָע כִּי צֵל יָמֵינוּ עֲלֵי־אָֽרֶץ
For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow—
הֲלֹא־הֵם יוֹרוּךָ יֹאמְרוּ לָךְ וּמִלִּבָּם יוֹצִאוּ מִלִּֽים
Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?
הֲיִֽגְאֶה־גֹּמֶא בְּלֹא בִצָּה יִשְׂגֶּה־אָחוּ בְלִי־מָֽיִם
Can the rush shoot up without mire? Can the reed-grass grow without water?
