Chapter 18, Section 5 (פֶּרֶק י״ח אוֹת ה׳)

Hei. And the Master of the crowns (ה. וַאֲדוֹן הַכְּתָרִים), the Delightful and the Expectant One (מַחְמָד וּמְצַפֶּה), Totrosa"y, Hashem, God of Yisrael (טוֹטְרוֹסָא״י ה׳ אֱלֹקֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל), according to the measure in which He waits for the Redemption (בַּמִּדָּה שֶׁמְּצַפֶּה לַגְּאֻלָּה), and for the time of salvation (וְלָעֵת יְשׁוּעָה), which is reserved for Yisrael (שֶׁשְּׁמוּרָה לָהֶם לְיִשְׂרָאֵל), after the destruction of the Second and final House (אַחַר חֻרְבַּן הַבַּיִת הַשֵּׁנִי הָאַחֲרוֹן). And when will the one who descends to the Merkavah descend? (וְאֵימָתַי יֵרֵד הַיּוֹרֵד לַמֶּרְכָּבָה), when will he behold the Majesty of the Heights? (מָתַי יִרְאֶה בִּגְאוּת מָרוֹם), when will the End of Salvation be heard? (מָתַי יִשָּׁמַע קֵץ יְשׁוּעָה), when will the Eye that has not seen behold? (מָתַי תִּרְאֶה עַיִן לֹא רָאָה), when will he ascend and declare to the seed of Avraham, His beloved? (מָתַי יַעֲלֶה וְיַגִּיד לְזֶרַע אַבְרָהָם אֹהֲבוֹ).
