Selected Poems (Engelse vertaling)

106 JEHUDAH HALEVI

Consider deeply and prepare thyself and re-
fleet on thine own secret,

And examine what thou art and whence thine
origin,

Who set thee up, who gave thee understanding,
whose power moveth thee;

And look unto the mighty acts of God and
waken the glory in thee.

Search out His works, only upon Himself
job 1,12. put not forth thine hand

Ben sira 3,21-22.When thou seekest the end and the beginning,
Eagigah 13a. the too wonderful, the deeply hid.

Praised be He and glorified, exalted and extolled!
