19. When a person is carried away, sorrow is over;and the life of the poor one is grievous to the heart.
20. Do not turn your thoughts to him again;cease to recall him; think rather of the end.
21. Do not recall him, for there is no hope of his return;you do him no good, and you harm yourself.
22. Remember that his fate will also be yours;for him it was yesterday, for you today.
23. With the dead at rest, let memory cease;be consoled, once the spirit has gone.
24. The scribe’s wisdom increases wisdom;whoever is free from toil can become wise.
