Even if a man fathers a hundred [children] and lives many years so that the days of his years are many, if his heart is not satisfied with {his prosperity} and {he does not receive a proper burial}, I deem the stillborn better than him.

Whoever obeys [his] command will not suffer disaster. The wise mind knows the [proper] time and the right [procedure].

For there is a [proper] time and right [procedure] for every matter, even though the trouble of man [weighs] heavy upon him.

Blessed are you, O land, when your king is a son of nobility and your princes feast at the proper time-- to gain strength and not to get drunk.
