My son, in thy wealth walk in meekness (H S); And thou shalt be more beloved than he that giveth gifts.
Minish thy soul from all the great things of the world; And before God thou shalt find mercy.
For great is the mercy of God; And he revealeth his secret to the meek.
Search not the things that are too wonderful for thee; And seek not that which is hid from thee.
What thou art permitted, think thereupon; But thou hast no business with the secret things.
And intrude not into that which is beyond thee; For thou hast been shewed that which is too great for thee.
