אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה אָקוּט בְּדוֹר וָאֹמַר עַם תֹּעֵי לֵבָב הֵם, וְהֵם לֹא־יָדְעוּ דְרָכָי:
Forty years I quarreled with that generation; and I said, “They are a people of erring hearts, and they did not know my ways.”
Arba’im shanah akut b’dor, Va’omar: “Am to’ey levav hem, v’hem lo yad’u d’rakhai.”
