Seven things characterize a stupid person, and seven a wise one. A wise man does not speak before one who is greater than he in wisdom or in years; he does not interrupt the words of his fellow; he does not rush to answer; he asks what is relevant to the subject matter and replies to the point; he speaks of first things first and of last things last; concerning that which he has not heard he says, "I have not heard"; and he acknowledges the truth. And the reverse of these characterize a stupid person. ז shiv|AH d'va|RIM ba|GO|lem ve|shiv|AH be|cha|CHAM, cha|CHAM: ei|NO me|da|BER lif|NEI mi she|ga|DOL mi|me|NU b'choch|MAH uv|min|YAN, ve-ei|NO nich|NAS le|TOCH div|REI cha|ve|RO, ve-ei|NO niv|HAL le|ha|SHIV, sho-EL ka-in|YAN u|me|SHIV ka|ha|la|CHAH, ve-o|MER al ri|SHON ri|SHON ve-AL a|cha|RON a|cha|RON, ve-AL mah she|LO sha|MA o|MER lo sha|MA|ti, u|mo|DEH al ha-e|MET, ve|chi|lu|fei|HEN ba|GO|lem. ז shiv|ʿAH de|va|RIM bag|GO|lem ve|shiv|ʿAH be|ḥa|KHAM, ḥa|KHAM: ʾe|NO me|dhab|BER lif|NE mi sheg|ga|DHOL mim|men|NU be|ḥokh|MAH u|ve|min|YAN, ve|ʾe|NO nikh|NAS le|THOKH div|RE ḥa|ve|RO, ve|ʾe|NO niv|HAL le|ha|SHIV, sho|ʾEL ka|ʿin|YAN u|me|SHIV ka|ha|la|KHAH, ve|ʾo|MER ʿal riʾ|SHON riʾ|SHON ve|ʿAL ʾa|ḥa|RON ʾa|ḥa|RON, ve|ʿAL mah shel|LOʾ sha|MAʿ ʾo|MER loʾ sha|MAʿ|ti, u|mo|DHEH ʿal ha|ʾe|METH, ve|ḥil|lu|fe|HEN bag|GO|lem. ז shiv|ʿAH de|va|RIM bag|GO|lem ve|shiv|ʿAH be|ḥa|KHAM, ḥa|KHAM: e|NO me|dab|BER lif|NE mi sheg|ga|DOL mim|men|NU be|ḥokh|MAH u|ve|min|YAN, ve|e|NO nikh|NAS le|TOKH div|RE ḥa|ve|RO, ve|e|NO niv|HAL le|ha|SHIV, sho|EL ka|ʿin|YAN u|me|SHIV ka|ha|la|KHAH, ve|o|MER ʿal ri|SHON ri|SHON ve|ʿAL a|ḥa|RON a|ḥa|RON, ve|ʿAL mah shel|LO sha|MAʿ o|MER lo sha|MAʿ|ti, u|mo|DEH ʿal ha|e|MET, ve|ḥil|lu|fe|HEN bag|GO|lem. ז shiv|OH d'vo|RIM ba|GOY|lem v'shiv|OH be|cho|CHOM, cho|CHOM: ei|NOY m'da|BEIR lif|NEI mi she|go|DOYL mi|me|NU b'choch|MOH uv'|min|YON, v'ei|NOY nich|NOS l'SOYCH div|REI cha|vei|ROY, v'ei|NOY niv|HOL l'ho|SHIV, shoy-EIL ko-in|YON u|mei|SHIV ka|ha|lo|CHOH, v'oy|MEIR al ri|SHOYN ri|SHOYN v'AL a|cha|ROYN a|cha|ROYN, v'AL mah she|LOY sho|MA oy|MEIR loy sho|MA|ti, u|moy|DEH al ho-e|MES, v'chi|lu|fei|HEN ba|GOY|lem.

Seven kinds of punishment come to the world for seven kinds of transgressions. If some tithe and some do not, a famine of [war-] panic ensues: some suffer hunger and some have plenty. If all decided not to tithe, a famine of drought ensues; and [if they also decided] not to separate the challah,¹⁷ a famine of destruction ensues.
