If there is no wisdom, there is no fear [of God]; if there is no fear [of God], there is no wisdom. If there is no knowledge, there is no understanding; if there is no understanding, there is no knowledge. If there is no flour [sustenance], there is no Torah; if there is no Torah, there is no flour. He used to say: Anyone whose wisdom exceeds his [good] deeds, to what can he be compared? To a tree whose branches are numerous but whose roots are few, and the wind comes and uproots it and turns it upside down; as it is stated: And he shall be like a lonely tree in arid land and shall not see when good comes; he shall dwell on parched soil in the wilderness, on salt-land, not inhabitable.1 But anyone whose [good] deeds exceed his wisdom, to what can he be compared? To a tree whose branches are few but whose roots are numerous, so that even if all the winds in the world were to come and blow against it, they could not move it from its place; as it is stated: And he shall be like a tree planted by waters, toward the stream spreading its roots, and it shall not feel when the heat comes, and its foliage shall be verdant; in the year of drought it shall not worry, nor shall it cease from yielding fruit.2", "transliteration": { "israeli": "יז ra|BI el|a|ZAR ben a|zar|YAH o|MER: im ein to|RAH ein DE|rech\nE|retz, im ein DE|rech E|retz ein to|RAH, im ein choch|MAH ein\nyir|AH, im ein yir|AH ein choch|MAH, im ein da-AT ein bi|NAH,\nim ein bi|NAH ein da-AT, im ein KE|mach ein to|RAH, im\nein to|RAH ein KE|mach. hu ha|YAH o|MER: kol she|choch|ma|TO\nme|ru|BAH mi|ma-a|SAV, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le-i|LAN she-a|na|FAV me|ru|BIN\nve|sho|ro|SHAV mu-a|TIN, ve|ha|RUACH ba-AH ve-o|kar|TO ve|ho|fach|TO al\npa|NAV, she|ne-e|MAR: ve|ha|YAH ke-ar|AR ba-a|ra|VAH, ve|LO yir|EH ki ya|VO\ntov, ve|sha|CHAN cha|re|RIM ba|mid|BAR, E|retz me|le|CHAH ve|LO te|SHEV.\na|VAL, kol she|ma-a|SAV me|ru|BIN me|choch|ma|TO, le|MAH hu do|MEH:\nle-i|LAN she-a|na|FAV mu-a|TIN ve|sho|ro|SHAV me|ru|BIN, she-a|fi|LU kol\nha|ru|CHOT she|ba-o|LAM ba-OT ve|nosh|VOT* bo, ein me|zi|ZIN o|TO\nmi|me|ko|MO*, she|ne-e|MAR: ve|ha|YAH ke-ETZ sha|TUL al MA|yim, ve-AL yu|VAL\nye|sha|LACH sho|ro|SHAV, ve|LO yir|EH ki ya|VO chom, ve|ha|YAH a|le|HU ra-a|NAN,\nu|vish|NAT* ba|TZO|ret lo yid|AG, ve|LO ya|MISH me-a|SOT pe|RI.", "orthographic": "יז rab|BI ʾel|ʿa|ZAR ben ʿa|zar|YAH ʾo|MER: ʾim ʾen to|RAH ʾen DE|rekh\nʾE|retz, ʾim ʾen DE|rekh ʾE|retz ʾen to|RAH, ʾim ʾen ḥokh|MAH ʾen\nyir|ʾAH, ʾim ʾen yir|ʾAH ʾen ḥokh|MAH, ʾim ʾen da|ʿATH ʾen bi|NAH,\nʾim ʾen bi|NAH ʾen da|ʿATH, ʾim ʾen QE|maḥ ʾen to|RAH, ʾim\nʾen to|RAH ʾen QE|maḥ. huʾ ha|YAH ʾo|MER: kol she|ḥokh|ma|THO\nme|rub|BAH mim|ma|ʿa|śAV, le|MAH huʾ do|MEH: le|ʾi|LAN she|ʿa|na|FAV me|rub|BIN\nve|sho|ro|SHAV mu|ʿa|ṭIN, ve|ha|RUAḥ ba|ʾAH ve|ʿo|qar|TO ve|ho|fakh|TO ʿal\npa|NAV, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ve|ha|YAH ke|ʿar|ʿAR ba|ʿa|ra|VAH, ve|LOʾ yir|ʾEH ki ya|VOʾ\nṭov, ve|sha|KHAN ḥa|re|RIM bam|midh|BAR, ʾE|retz me|le|ḥAH ve|LOʾ the|SHEV.\nʾa|VAL, kol shem|ma|ʿa|śAV me|rub|BIN me|ḥokh|ma|THO, le|MAH huʾ do|MEH:\nle|ʾi|LAN she|ʿa|na|FAV mu|ʿa|ṭIN ve|sho|ro|SHAV me|rub|BIN, she|ʾa|fil|LU kol\nha|ru|ḥOTH sheb|ba|ʿo|LAM ba|ʾOTH ve|no|she|VOTH* bo, ʾen me|zi|ZIN ʾo|THO\nmim|me|qo|MO*, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ve|ha|YAH ke|ʿETZ sha|THUL ʿal MA|yim, ve|ʿAL yu|VAL\nye|shal|LAḥ sho|ro|SHAV, ve|LOʾ yir|ʾEH ki ya|VOʾ ḥom, ve|ha|YAH ʿa|le|HU ra|ʿa|NAN,\nu|vish|NATH* bat|TZO|reth loʾ yidh|ʾAGH, ve|LOʾ ya|MISH me|ʿa|śOTH pe|RI.", "sephardic": "יז rab|BI el|ʿa|ZAR ben ʿa|zar|YAH o|MER: im en to|RAH en DE|rekh\nE|retz, im en DE|rekh E|retz en to|RAH, im en ḥokh|MAH en\nyir|AH, im en yir|AH en ḥokh|MAH, im en da|ʿAT en bi|NAH,\nim en bi|NAH en da|ʿAT, im en QE|maḥ en to|RAH, im\nen to|RAH en QE|maḥ. hu ha|YAH o|MER: kol she|ḥokh|ma|TO\nme|rub|BAH mim|ma|ʿa|SAV, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le|i|LAN she|ʿa|na|FAV me|rub|BIN\nve|sho|ro|SHAV mu|ʿa|TIN, ve|ha|RUAḥ ba|AH ve|ʿo|qar|TO ve|ho|fakh|TO ʿal\npa|NAV, shen|ne|e|MAR: ve|ha|YAH ke|ʿar|ʿAR ba|ʿa|ra|VAH, ve|LO yir|EH ki ya|VO\ntov, ve|sha|KHAN ḥa|re|RIM bam|mid|BAR, E|retz me|le|ḥAH ve|LO te|SHEV.\na|VAL, kol shem|ma|ʿa|SAV me|rub|BIN me|ḥokh|ma|TO, le|MAH hu do|MEH:\nle|i|LAN she|ʿa|na|FAV mu|ʿa|TIN ve|sho|ro|SHAV me|rub|BIN, she|a|fil|LU kol\nha|ru|ḥOT sheb|ba|ʿo|LAM ba|OT ve|no|she|VOT* bo, en me|zi|ZIN o|TO\nmim|me|qo|MO*, shen|ne|e|MAR: ve|ha|YAH ke|ʿETZ sha|TUL ʿal MA|yim, ve|ʿAL yu|VAL\nye|shal|LAḥ sho|ro|SHAV, ve|LO yir|EH ki ya|VO ḥom, ve|ha|YAH ʿa|le|HU ra|ʿa|NAN,\nu|vish|NAT* bat|TZO|ret lo yid|AG, ve|LO ya|MISH me|ʿa|SOT pe|RI.", "chabad": "יז ra|BI el|o|ZOR ben a|zar|YOH oy|MEIR: im ein toy|ROH ein DE|rech\nE|retz, im ein DE|rech E|retz ein toy|ROH, im ein choch|MOH ein\nyir|OH, im ein yir|OH ein choch|MOH, im ein da-AS ein bi|NOH,\nim ein bi|NOH ein da-AS, im ein KE|mach ein toy|ROH, im\nein toy|ROH ein KE|mach. hu ho|YOH oy|MEIR: kol she|choch|mo|SOY\nm'ru|BOH mi|ma-a|SOV, l'MOH hu doy|MEH: l'i|LON she-a|no|FOV m'ru|BIN\nv'sho|ro|SHOV mu-o|TIN, v'ho|RUACH bo-OH v'oy|kar|TOY v'hoy|fach|TOY al\npo|NOV, she|ne-e|MAR: v'ho|YOH k'ar|OR bo-a|ro|VOH, v'LOY yir|EH ki yo|VOY\ntoyv, v'sho|CHAN cha|rei|RIM ba|mid|BOR, E|retz m'lei|CHOH v'LOY sei|SHEIV.\na|VOL, kol she|ma-a|SOV m'ru|BIN mei|choch|mo|SOY, l'MOH hu doy|MEH:\nl'i|LON she-a|no|FOV mu-o|TIN v'sho|ro|SHOV m'ru|BIN, she-a|fi|LU kol\nho|ru|CHOYS she|bo-oy|LOM bo-OYS v'noysh'|VOYS* boy, ein m'zi|ZIN oy|SOY\nmim'|koy|MOY*, she|ne-e|MAR: v'ho|YOH k'EITZ sho|SUL al MA|yim, v'AL yu|VAL\ny'sha|LACH sho|ro|SHOV, v'LOY yir|EH ki yo|VOY choym, v'ho|YOH o|lei|HU ra-a|NON,\nu|vish|NAS* ba|TZOY|res loy yid|OG, v'LOY yo|MISH mei-a|SOYS pe|RI." } }, { "type": "Passage", "hebrew": "יח רַבִּי\nאֱלִיעֶזֶר (בֶּן) חִסְמָא אוֹמֵר: קִנִּין וּפִתְחֵי* נִדָּה, הֵן הֵן גּוּפֵי\nהֲלָכוֹת. תְּקוּפוֹת וְגִימַטְרִיאוֹת, פַּרְפְּרָאוֹת לַחָכְמָה.", "english": "18.
