Segment 1א׳

תַּנְיָא, בְּאַרְבַּע תְּקוּפִין דְּשַׁתָּא, קָלָא אִתְפְּסָק, וְדִינִין מִתְעָרִין, וּתְשׁוּבָה תַּלְיָא עַד דְּאִתְתְּקַן. וְכַד דִּינִין מִתְעָרִין, קָלָא נָפִיק, וְד' זַוויָין (ס"א זימנין) דְּעָלְמָא, סַלְּקִין וְנַחְתִּין. כָּרוֹזָא קָרֵי, וְלֵית מַאן דְּיִשְׁגַּח וְיִתְּעַר. וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא זַמִּין, אִם יְתוּבוּן יְתוּב, וְאִי לָאו, (כלא ס"א קלא) אִתְפְּסָק, וְדִינַיָא אִתְעָבִידוּ וּכְדֵין אִתְקְרֵי וַיִּתְעַצֵּב, ויִּתְעַצֵּב בְּבָתֵּי בָּרָאי.

It has been taught: at the four seasons of the year the voice is cut off, and judgements are roused, and repentance hangs in suspense until it is set right. And when judgements are roused, a voice goes forth, and the four corners of the world ascend and descend. A herald calls, and there is none who marks it and rouses himself. And the Holy One, blessed be He, is ready: if they return, He will return; and if not, it is cut off, and the judgements are carried out. And then it is called “and He was grieved”; and He is grieved in the outer chambers.

Segment 2ב׳

אָמַר רִבִּי יְהוּדָה, תָּנֵינָן, מִן יוֹמָא דְּאִתְחָרַב בִּי מַקְדְּשָׁא, לֵית יוֹמָא דְּלָא אִשְׁתְּכַח בֵּיהּ רִתְחָא בִּישָׁא. מַאי טַעְמָא. מִשּׁוּם דְּתָנֵינָן, אָמַר רִבִּי יוּדָאִי אָמַר רִבִּי יֵיסָא, נִשְׁבַּע הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא שֶׁלא יִכָּנֵס בִּיְרוּשָׁלַם דִּלְעֵילָּא, עַד שֶׁיִּכָּנְסוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּיְרוּשָׁלַ ם דִּלְתַתָּא. וּבְגִין כַּךְ, רִתְחָא אִשְׁתְּכַחַת בְּעָלְמָא.

R. Judah said: as we have learnt, from the day that the Temple was destroyed there has been no day without evil wrath in it. What is the reason? Because, as we have learnt, R. Judai said in the name of R. Jesse: the Holy One, blessed be He, swore that He would not enter the Jerusalem above until Israel enter the Jerusalem below. And therefore wrath is found in the world.
