מָֽה־אֱנ֥וֹשׁ כִּֽי־תִזְכְּרֶ֑נּוּ וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם כִּ֣י תִפְקְדֶֽנּוּ׃
Qu’est donc l’homme, que tu penses à lui? Le fils d’Adam, que tu le protèges?
Ecclesiastes
I said in my heart [(when I saw all this)] that G-d [has chosen] to apprise all those who assert lordship [over those beneath them that their power is naught)], and to show [them] that they [(and all potentates)] are as beasts unto themselves.
