וְיִֽחֲלוּ כַמָּטָר לִי וּפִיהֶם פָּעֲרוּ לְמַלְקֽוֹשׁ
And they waited for me as for the rain; And they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
אֶשְׂחַק אֲלֵהֶם לֹא יַאֲמִינוּ וְאוֹר פָּנַי לֹא יַפִּילֽוּן
If I laughed on them, they believed it not; And the light of my countenance they cast not down.
אֶֽבֲחַר דַּרְכָּם וְאֵשֵׁב רֹאשׁ וְאֶשְׁכּוֹן כְּמֶלֶךְ בַּגְּדוּד כַּאֲשֶׁר אֲבֵלִים יְנַחֵֽם
I chose out their way, and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king in the army, As one that comforteth the mourners.
וְעַתָּה שָֽׂחֲקוּ עָלַי צְעִירִים מִמֶּנִּי לְיָמִים אֲשֶׁר־מָאַסְתִּי אֲבוֹתָם לָשִׁית עִם־כַּלְבֵי צֹאנִֽי
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
גַּם־כֹּחַ יְדֵיהֶם לָמָּה לִּי עָלֵימוֹ אָבַד כָּֽלַח
Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perished.
