כְּרַחֵ֣ם אָ֭ב עַל־בָּנִ֑ים רִחַ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַל־יְרֵאָֽיו׃
Kung paanong naaawa ang isang ama sa kanyang mga anak, gayon naaawa ang Walang-Hanggan sa mga may takot sa Kanya.
Zohar
Said R. Simeon to R. Eleazar, his son: ‘Concerning this, it is written: “Let all peoples praise thee, O Lord; let all peoples praise thee.” Then R. Eleazar came and kissed his hand. But R. Abba wept and said: ‘A father pitieth his children. Who will pity R. Eleazar and bring his words to completion except he have the Master’s pity? How happy can we consider ourselves that we were privileged to hear these words so that we shall not be ashamed of our ignorance in the world to come! ‘
