מוּסַר כְּלִמָּתִי אֶשְׁמָע וְרוּחַ מִֽבִּינָתִי יַעֲנֵֽנִי
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, But out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.
הֲזֹאת יָדַעְתָּ מִנִּי־עַד מִנִּי שִׂים אָדָם עֲלֵי־אָֽרֶץ
Knowest thou not this of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,
כִּי רִנְנַת רְשָׁעִים מִקָּרוֹב וְשִׂמְחַת חָנֵף עֲדֵי־רָֽגַע
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?
אִם־יַעֲלֶה לַשָּׁמַיִם שִׂיאוֹ וְרֹאשׁוֹ לָעָב יַגִּֽיעַ
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;
כְּֽגֶלֲלוֹ לָנֶצַח יֹאבֵד רֹאָיו יֹאמְרוּ אַיּֽוֹ
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung; They that have seen him shall say: ‘Where is he?’
