Selected Poems (Engelse vertaling)

95 JEHUDAH HALEVI

Make knowledge the envoy between thyself
and Him;

Aboth 2,4. Annul thy will and do His will;

And know that wheresoever thou hidest thee,
there is His eye,
jer. 32,17. And nothing is too hard for Him.

Prov. 8,24,26. He was the Living while there was yet no
dust of the world;

And He is the Maker and He the Bearer;
isa. 28,4. And man is counted as a fading flower—
isa. 34,4. Soon to fade, as fadeth a leaf.
