Selected Poems (Engelse vertaling)

17 JEHUDAH HALEVI

Hark how the words of her wise are confused,
Built and plastered up on a vain unstable base;
Neh. 5,13. And thou wilt come back with a heart stripped
empty

i Kings 18.27. And a mouth full of dross and weeds.

jud. 5.6. Wherefore, then, should I seek me out crooked
ways,

And forsake the mother of paths?
