and my groans pour out like water.

You will approach the grave in full vigor,

as a stack of sheaves is gathered in its season.

or an ox low over its fodder?

I refuse to touch them;

they are like contaminated food.

Doesn’t the ear test words

as the palate tastes food?

He wanders about for food, asking, “Where is it? ”

He knows the day of darkness is at hand.

They plucked mallow[fn] among the shrubs,

and the roots of the broom tree were their food.

so that he detests bread,

and his soul despises his favorite food.

Who provides the raven’s food

when its young cry out to God

and wander about for lack of food?

From there it searches for prey;

its eyes penetrate the distance.

You have put more joy in my heart

than they have when their grain and new wine abound.

The pastures are clothed with flocks

and the valleys covered with grain.

They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
