Be not hasty in thy ruach to be angry; for ka'as (anger) resteth in the kheyk (bosom) of kesilim.

In the yom tovah be joyful, but in the yom ra'ah consider: HaElohim also hath set the one over against the other in such a way that adam may not find out anything that will come after him.

Better is the acharit (end) of a thing than the reshit (beginning) thereof; and erech ruach (patience) is better than gavoah ruach (haughtiness).

Surely indeed there is not a tzaddik upon earth, that doeth tov, and sinneth not.

For chochmah is a protective tzel (shade), and kesef is as well; but the advantage of da'as is, that chochmah giveth chayyim (life) to them that possess it.

A shem tov is better than precious ointment; and the yom hamavet than the day of oneʼs birth.

It is better to hear the rebuke of the chacham, than for an ish to hear the shir kesilim.

It is better to go to the bais evel (house of mourning), than to go to the bais mishteh (house of feasting); for that is the sof (end, conclusion) of kol haAdam; and the living will take it to heart.

The lev of chachamim is in the bais evel (house of mourning); but the lev of kesilim is in the bais simchah.
