Never let your mouth cause you to sin and don't proclaim in the presence of the angel, "My promise was a mistake," for why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy what you've undertaken?

It is good for you to grab hold of this and not let go, because whoever fears God will escape all of these extremes.

Even if a person lives many years, let him enjoy them all, recalling that there will be many days of darkness to come all of which are pointless.

Let the conclusion of all of these thoughts be heard: Fear God and obey his commandments, for this is what it means to be human.
