וָאֹמַר עִם־קִנִּי אֶגְוָע וְכַחוֹל אַרְבֶּה יָמִֽים
Then I said: ‘I shall die with my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the phoenix;
שָׁרְשִׁי פָתוּחַ אֱלֵי־מָיִם וְטַל יָלִין בִּקְצִירִֽי
My root shall be spread out to the waters, And the dew shall lie all night upon my branch;
כְּבוֹדִי חָדָשׁ עִמָּדִי וְקַשְׁתִּי בְּיָדִי תַחֲלִֽיף
My glory shall be fresh in me, And my bow shall be renewed in my hand.’
לִֽי־שָׁמְעוּ וְיִחֵלּוּ וְיִדְּמוּ לְמוֹ עֲצָתִֽי
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.
אַחֲרֵי דְבָרִי לֹא יִשְׁנוּ וְעָלֵימוֹ תִּטֹּף מִלָּתִֽי
After my words they spoke not again; And my speech dropped upon them.
