Footnotes

  1. 30 The first word of the third line begins with ג (gimel), the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
  2. 31 The joining of these two words, “good” and “evil,” is frequent in the Bible; they contrast the prosperity and well-being of her contribution with what would be devastating and painful. The way of wisdom is always characterized by “good”; the way of folly is associated with “evil.”
