     Ben adám sa kináh al Par'óh mélekh Mitsráyim ve-amartֶá eláv k'fír goyím nidméta v-atáh ka-taním ba-yamím va-tagaḥ b-naharotékha va-tidláḥ máyim b-raglékha va-tirpós naharotám.

     Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him: thou didst liken thyself unto a young lion of the nations; whereas thou art as a dragon in the seas; and thou didst gush forth with thy rivers, and didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and foul their rivers.
