{38:21} You should not give your heart over to sadness, but push it away from you. And remember the very end.
{38:22} Do not be willing to forget this; for there is no turning back. Otherwise, it will not benefit you, and you will cause great harm to yourself.
{38:23} Call to mind my judgment. For so shall it be for you also. Yesterday is mine, and today is yours.
{38:24} When the deceased is at rest, let his memory rest also. And console him at the departure of his spirit.
{38:25} The wisdom of a scribe is found in his time of leisure. So whoever has less to do will gain wisdom.
