    • 1903, Hayim Nahman Bialik, On the Slaughter 22–25:
      וְאָרוּר הָאוֹמֵר: נְקֹם! \ נְקָמָה כָזֹאת, נִקְמַת דַּם יֶלֶד קָטָן \ עוֹד לֹא-בָרָא הַשָּׂטָן – \ וְיִקֹּב הַדָּם אֶת-הַתְּהוֹם!
      And cursed is the [one] who says: avenge! / Such vengeance, vengeance of blood of a small child / The devil has not yet created – / And blood will puncture the abyss!
