הַ/עֶ֨צֶב נִבְזֶ֜ה נָפ֗וּץ הָ/אִ֤ישׁ הַ/זֶּה֙ כָּנְיָ֔הוּ אִ֨ם כְּלִ֔י אֵ֥ין חֵ֖פֶץ בּ֑/וֹ מַדּ֤וּעַ הֽוּטֲלוּ֙ ה֣וּא וְ/זַרְע֔/וֹ וְ/הֻ֨שְׁלְכ֔וּ עַל הָ/אָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא יָדָֽעוּ
English Translation
The pain is despised; this man has a possession, but there is no desire for it. Why were he and his descendants cast upon the land which they did not know?
