네가 백향목으로 집 짓기를 경쟁하므로 왕이 될 수 있겠느냐 네 아비가 먹으며 마시지 아니하였으며 공평과 의리를 행치 아니하였느냐 그 때에 그가 형통하였었느니라
Duties of the Heart
The early ones, with their strong intellect and pure souls were capable of working for this world and also for the final one. Neither one would be detrimental to the other, as written: "did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness, and then it was well with him?" (Yirmiya 22:15), and it says: "it is good that you should take hold of this, and also from this you shall not withdraw your hand" (Koheles 7:18).
