Selected Poems (Engelse vertaling)

94 JEHUDAH HALEVI

46

WHO IS LIKE THEE

job 12,22. Who is like Thee, revealing the deeps,
Ex. 15,11. Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

The Creator who discovereth all from nothing,
Is revealed to the heart, but not to the eye;
Therefore ask not how nor where—
jer. 23,24. For He filleth heaven and earth.

Remove lust from the midst of thee;
job 31,33. Thou wilt find thy God within thy bosom,

Walking gently in thine heart—
i Sam. 2,6. He that bringeth low and that lifteth up.

And see the w^ray of the soul's secret;
Search it out and refresh thee.
He will make thee wise, and thou wilt find
freedom,

For thou art a captive and the world is a
prison.
