Rabbi Yehudah said: Be cautious in study, for an unwitting error in [observance due to insufficient] study is accounted as wanton transgression. Rabbi Shimon said: There are three crowns—the crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood, and the crown of kingship; but the crown of a good name surpasses them all. יג ra|BI ye|hu|DAH o|MER: he|VEI za|HIR b'tal|MUD, she|shig|GAT tal|MUD o|LAH za|DON. ra|BI shim|ON o|MER, sh'l|SHAH ch'ta|RIM hen: KE|ter to|RAH, ve|CHE|ter ke|hu|NAH, ve|CHE|ter mal|CHUT, ve|CHE|ter shem tov o|LEH al ga|bei|HEN. יג rab|BI ye|hu|DHAH ʾo|MER: he|VE za|HIR be|thal|MUDH, shes|shigh|GHATH tal|MUDH ʿo|LAH za|DHON. rab|BI shim|ʿON ʾo|MER, she|l|SHAH khe|tha|RIM hen: KE|ther to|RAH, ve|KHE|ther ke|hun|NAH, ve|KHE|ther mal|KHUTH, ve|KHE|ther shem ṭov ʿo|LEH ʿal gab|be|HEN. יג rab|BI ye|hu|DAH o|MER: he|VE za|HIR be|tal|MUD, shes|shig|GAT tal|MUD ʿo|LAH za|DON. rab|BI shim|ʿON o|MER, she|l|SHAH khe|ta|RIM hen: KE|ter to|RAH, ve|KHE|ter ke|hun|NAH, ve|KHE|ter mal|KHUT, ve|KHE|ter shem tov ʿo|LEH ʿal gab|be|HEN. יג ra|BI y'hu|DOH oy|MEIR: he|VEI zo|HIR b'sal|MUD, she|shig|GAS tal|MUD oy|LOH zo|DOYN. ra|BI shim|OYN oy|MEIR, sh'l|SHOH ch'so|RIM hein: KE|ser toy|ROH, v'CHE|ser k'hu|NOH, v'CHE|ser mal|CHUS, v'CHE|ser sheim toyv oy|LEH al ga|bei|HEN.

Rabbi Nehora'ey said: Exile yourself to a place of Torah—and do not assume that it will come after you—for it is your colleagues who [through discussion and deliberation] will cause it to be clearly established with you; and do not rely on your own understanding.¹ יד ra|BI ne|ho|RAI o|MER: he|VEI go|LEH lim|KOM to|RAH, ve-AL to|MAR she|HI ta|VO a|cha|RE|cha, she|cha|ve|RE|cha ye|kay|mu|HA v'ya|DE|cha, ve-EL bi|nat|CHA al ti|sha-EN. יד rab|BI ne|ho|RAIʾ ʾo|MER: he|VE gho|LEH lim|QOM to|RAH, ve|ʾAL toʾ|MAR she|HIʾ tha|VOʾ ʾa|ḥa|RE|kha, she|ḥa|ve|RE|kha ye|qay|ye|mu|HA ve|ya|DHE|kha, ve|ʾEL bi|na|the|KHA ʾal tis|sha|ʿEN. יד rab|BI ne|ho|RAI o|MER: he|VE go|LEH lim|QOM to|RAH, ve|AL to|MAR she|HI ta|VO a|ḥa|RE|kha, she|ḥa|ve|RE|kha ye|qay|ye|mu|HA ve|ya|DE|kha, ve|EL bi|na|te|KHA al tis|sha|ʿEN. יד ra|BI n'hoy|RAI oy|MEIR: he|VEI goy|LEH lim|KOYM toy|ROH, v'AL toy|MAR she|HI so|VOY a|cha|RE|cho, she|cha|vei|RE|cho y'kay'|mu|HO v'yo|DE|cho, v'EL bi|nos'|CHO al ti|sho-EIN.

Rabbi Yannai said: We are unable to understand either the well-being of the wicked or the tribulations of the righteous. Rabbi Matya ben Charash said: Be the first to extend greetings to anyone you meet; and rather be a tail to lions than a head to foxes. טו ra|BI ya|NAI o|MER: ein b'ya|DEI|nu lo mi|shal|VAT ha|re|sha-IM, ve-AF lo mi|yi|su|REI ha|tza|di|KIM. ra|BI mat|YA ben cha|RASH o|MER: he|VEI mak|DIM bish|LOM kol a|DAM, ve|he|VEI za|NAV la-a|ra|YOT, ve-AL te|HI rosh la|shu-a|LIM. טו rab|BI yan|NAIʾ ʾo|MER: ʾen be|ya|DHE|nu loʾ mis|shal|VATH ha|re|sha|ʿIM, ve|ʾAF loʾ miy|yis|su|RE hat|tzad|di|QIM. rab|BI math|YAʾ ben ḥa|RASH ʾo|MER: he|VE maq|DIM bish|LOM kol ʾa|DHAM, ve|he|VE za|NAV la|ʾa|ra|YOTH, ve|ʾAL te|HI roʾsh las|shu|ʿa|LIM. טו rab|BI yan|NAI o|MER: en be|ya|DE|nu lo mis|shal|VAT ha|re|sha|ʿIM, ve|AF lo miy|yis|su|RE hat|tzad|di|QIM. rab|BI mat|YA ben ḥa|RASH o|MER: he|VE maq|DIM bish|LOM kol a|DAM, ve|he|VE za|NAV la|a|ra|YOT, ve|AL te|HI rosh las|shu|ʿa|LIM. טו ra|BI ya|NAI oy|MEIR: ein b'yo|DEI|nu loy mi|shal|VAS hor'|sho-IM, v'AF loy mi|yi|su|REI ha|tza|di|KIM. ra|BI mas|YO ben cho|ROSH oy|MEIR: he|VEI mak|DIM bish|LOYM kol o|DOM, ve|he|VEI zo|NOV lo-a|ro|YOYS, v'AL t'HI roysh la|shu-o|LIM.

Rabbi Yaakov said: This world is like an ante-chamber before the World to Come; prepare yourself in the ante-chamber so that you may enter the banquet hall. טז ra|BI ya-a|KOV o|MER: ha-o|LAM ha|ZEH do|MEH lif|roz|DOR bif|NEI ha-o|LAM ha|BA, hat|KEN atz|me|CHA bap|roz|DOR k'DEI she|ti|ka|NES lat|rak|LIN. טז rab|BI ya|ʿa|QOV ʾo|MER: ha|ʿo|LAM haz|ZEH do|MEH lif|ro|ze|DHOR bif|NE ha|ʿo|LAM hab|BAʾ, hath|QEN ʿatz|me|KHA bap|pe|ro|ze|DHOR ke|DHE shet|tik|ka|NES laṭ|ṭe|raq|LIN. טז rab|BI ya|ʿa|QOV o|MER: ha|ʿo|LAM haz|ZEH do|MEH lif|ro|ze|DOR bif|NE ha|ʿo|LAM hab|BA, hat|QEN ʿatz|me|KHA bap|pe|ro|ze|DOR ke|DE shet|tik|ka|NES lat|te|raq|LIN. טז ra|BI ya-a|KOYV oy|MEIR: ho-oy|LOM ha|ZEH doy|MEH lif|royz'|DOYR bif|NEI ho-oy|LOM ha|BO, has|KEIN atz|m'CHO bap'|royz'|DOYR k'DEI she|ti|ko|NEIS lat'|rak|LIN.

He used to say: One hour of repentance and good deeds in this world is better than all the life of the World to Come; and one hour of bliss in the World to Come is better than all the life of this world. יז hu ha|YAH o|MER: ya|FAH sha-AH a|CHAT bit|shu|VAH u|ma-a|SIM to|VIM ba-o|LAM ha|ZEH, mi|KOL cha|YEI ha-o|LAM ha|BA, ve|ya|FAH sha-AH a|CHAT shel ko|RAT ruach ba-o|LAM ha|BA, mi|KOL cha|YEI ha-o|LAM ha|ZEH. יז huʾ ha|YAH ʾo|MER: ya|FAH sha|ʿAH ʾa|ḥATH bith|shu|VAH u|ma|ʿa|śIM ṭo|VIM ba|ʿo|LAM haz|ZEH, mik|KOL ḥay|YE ha|ʿo|LAM hab|BAʾ, ve|ya|FAH sha|ʿAH ʾa|ḥATH shel qo|RATH ruaḥ ba|ʿo|LAM hab|BAʾ, mik|KOL ḥay|YE ha|ʿo|LAM haz|ZEH. יז hu ha|YAH o|MER: ya|FAH sha|ʿAH a|ḥAT bit|shu|VAH u|ma|ʿa|SIM to|VIM ba|ʿo|LAM haz|ZEH, mik|KOL ḥay|YE ha|ʿo|LAM hab|BA, ve|ya|FAH sha|ʿAH a|ḥAT shel qo|RAT ruaḥ ba|ʿo|LAM hab|BA, mik|KOL ḥay|YE ha|ʿo|LAM haz|ZEH. יז hu ho|YOH oy|MEIR: yo|FOH sho-OH a|CHAS bis|shu|VOH u|ma-a|SIM toy|VIM bo-oy|LOM ha|ZEH, mi|KOL cha|YEI ho-oy|LOM ha|BO, v'yo|FOH sho-OH a|CHAS shel koy|RAS ruach bo-oy|LOM ha|BO, mi|KOL cha|YEI ho-oy|LOM ha|ZEH.

Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar said: Do not placate your fellow in the moment of his anger; do not comfort him while his dead lies before him; do not question him [about the details] of his vow at the moment he makes it; and do not seek to see him at the time of his degradation. יח ra|BI shim|ON ben el|a|ZAR o|MER: al t'ra|TZEH et cha|ve|re|CHA bish|AT ka-a|SO, ve-AL t'na|cha|me|HU b'sha-AH she|me|TO mu|TAL le|fa|NAV, ve-AL tish|AL lo bish|AT nid|RO, ve-AL tish|ta|DEL lir|o|TO bish|AT kal|ka|la|TO. יח rab|BI shim|ʿON ben ʾel|ʿa|ZAR ʾo|MER: ʾal te|rat|TZEH ʾeth ḥa|ve|re|KHA bish|ʿATH ka|ʿa|SO, ve|ʾAL te|na|ḥa|me|HU be|sha|ʿAH shem|me|THO muṭ|ṭAL le|fa|NAV, ve|ʾAL tish|ʾAL lo bish|ʿATH nidh|RO, ve|ʾAL tish|tad|DEL lir|ʾo|THO bish|ʿATH qal|qa|la|THO. יח rab|BI shim|ʿON ben el|ʿa|ZAR o|MER: al te|rat|TZEH et ḥa|ve|re|KHA bish|ʿAT ka|ʿa|SO, ve|AL te|na|ḥa|me|HU be|sha|ʿAH shem|me|TO mut|TAL le|fa|NAV, ve|AL tish|AL lo bish|ʿAT nid|RO, ve|AL tish|tad|DEL lir|o|TO bish|ʿAT qal|qa|la|TO. יח ra|BI shim|OYN ben el|o|ZOR oy|MEIR: al t'ra|TZEH es cha|veir'|CHO bish|AS ka-a|SOY, v'AL t'na|cha|mei|HU b'sho-OH she|mei|SOY mu|TOL l'fo|NOV, v'AL tish|AL loy bish|AS nid|ROY, v'AL tish|ta|DEIL lir|oy|SOY bish|AS kal|ko|lo|SOY.
