Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and desire fails, because man is going to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets—
גַּ֣ם מִגָּבֹ֣הַּ יִירָ֡אוּ וְחַתְחַתִּ֣ים בַּדֶּרֶךְ֮ וְיָנֵ֣אץ הַשָּׁקֵד֒ וְיִסְתַּבֵּ֣ל הֶחָגָ֔ב וְתָפֵ֖ר הָאֲבִיּוֹנָ֑ה כִּ֤י הֹלֵךְ֙ הָאָדָ֔ם אֶל בֵּ֣ית עוֹלָמ֔וֹ וְסָבְב֥וּ בָשּׁ֖וּק הַסֹּפְדִֽים׃
