King Solomon, peace be upon him, said: A good name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one's birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. ⟦illegible⟧ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up. ⟦illegible⟧ Again, if two lie together, then they have heat; but how can one be warm alone? And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more. For out of prison he came forth to reign; although in his kingdom he was born poor. ⟦line⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ to dedicate upon the passing of

Let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy. Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom the day of Jerusalem, who said, "Raze it, raze it, to its very foundation!"
