Students Light of Israel, Right most pillar,
Mighty Hammer! Why are you crying?
Ben
Zakkai
 If they were leading me to judgment
before a king of flesh and blood
Who is here today and in the grave tomorrow
Who, if he becomes angry with me,
  his anger is not an everlasting anger.
And if he imprisons me
  his imprisonment is not an everlating imprisonment.
And if he puts me to death,
  his death is not an everlasting death.
And I am able to appease him with
words and to bribe him with money.
Even so I would weep.
