THE RICHNESS OF FAITH
THE RICHNESS OF FAITH
Through God's goodness, l see what is good
which attracts my heart to Your great love.
Beauty shines from what is pure on earth
and reveals to all what's dear to have.
What is faith but great belief in joy
that bestows on us most sublime life.
We may sacrifice all food and sex,
just to choose what can cheer up the heart.
This great touch of happy life l get
from the kiss of an old woman who
gives me what she has, a kiss on brow
which is richer than all what we own.

Wouldn't these lines
Through God's goodness, l see what is good
which attracts my heart to Your great love.
make more sense (let alone be clearer than they are as to who the person you are addressing with your "your" is and less repetitive) if you had written
"Through your Hesed,** God, l now see
all that you have deemed as " good"
which attracts my heart to Your great love."?

Or do you think that these lines contain no repetition of vocabulary or ambiguity?

Who and what I think I am has nothing to do with the issue at hand -- which is whether or not my remarks about the aspects of J-Z's piece I wrote about are valid.
Perhaps, instead of following the example of J-Z (who often responds to what I say about the way he writes with inappropriate ad hominems and red herrings), you'll do the responsible thing and demonstrate that what I say about certain aspects of J-Z's piece are meritless -- assuming, of course, that you are capable of doing so.

I wonder if you realize that what you are asking here is for the person you are speaking with to tell you why you left me "to the readers", even assuming that this is something that is clear you did? Why are you doing this? Is the reason you left me "to the readers" something that you do not understand and have no explanation for?
