Quotation_auto_tanakh su Numeri 21:37

Master of the world, behold we are coming with fear and love and great joy to thank You for Your having sanctified us with Your commandments and choosing us from all of the nations, [for having] loved us and desired us; and You gave us Your holy Torah - the written Torah and the oral Torah - and You brought us near to [do] Your service. What are we, what are our lives, that You have done many and great kindnesses like these with us? And now Lord, our God, we thank You and praise Your splendid name. Yet, great is our distress when we bring to our minds all that we have been negligent from being occupied with Your holy Torah; and everything that we have blemished in our study - whether on account of learning in order to become famous, whether on account of our not learning in purity and awe as the discipline of what to do, whether because we have not toiled to understand something clearly [to] extract the rule and the depth of the law, whether because of that which we have 'plucked salt-wort from wormwood' (interrupted our studies unnecessarily) or whether because we have not supported and strengthened the knees of the rabbis that are fatigued and we have not invigorated weak knees. And like this and like that have we blemished the twenty two letters of Your Torah, erred in study and in instruction and have not acted according to the procedure of the Torah scholar. And something else [distresses us] - that which sparks of our Torah and our [performance of the] commandments have fallen into 'broken pits,' and 'captives were taken from it.'
