6. Do not give the kodesh to kelevim nor throw your pearls before chazirim, lest they will trample them with their feet and turn around and tear you into pieces.
7. Keep asking and it shall be given to you; keep searching and you shall find; keep knocking and the delet shall be opened to you.
8. For everyone asking receives, and the one searching finds, and to the one knocking the delet will be opened.
9. Or what man is there among you the ben of whom will ask for lechem (bread), and he will give him a stone.
10. Or if he asks for a dag (fish), will give him a nachash (snake)?
11. Therefore, if you, being ra'im (evil ones), know to give matanot tovot (good gifts) to your yeladim, how much more does your Av shbaShomayim give hatov (the good) to the ones asking Him.
12. Therefore, everything that you wish Bnei Adam do for you, thus also you do for them. For this is the Torah and the Neviim.
13. Enter through the derech (way) of the shaar hatzarut (gate of narrowness), for wide is the delet and broad is the rekhov (street) leading to Avaddon (destruction, hell, Abbadon), and rabbim (many) are they who enter through it.
