Kabbalah sa Mga Kawikaan 3:16: Sha'arei Kedusha & Sha'arei Orah

If you are proud of your authority and honor over others, are there not many despicable people who have power over others in this world, as proverbs states,²⁹⁴Proverbs 30:21 “because of a slave who reigns.” Furthermore, wealth and honor are in HaShem’s-יהו"ה control²⁹⁵Proverbs 3:16 and He brings the haughty down to the ground.²⁹⁶Liturgy of the morning blessings of the Shema recital. If you are proud of your intelligence, there were many people who were more intelligent than you, such as Doeg, Achitophel and Yeravam, who lost their lives, both in this world and the coming world. For it is in HaShem’s-יהו"ה power to distort the utterances of the trustworthy and take reason away from the elders.²⁹⁷Job 12:20 Therefore, let not the wise glory in his wisdom,²⁹⁸Jeremiah 9:22 for how can you be haughty if from your very inception you were born of a putrid drop,²⁹⁹Mishnah Avot 3:1 and you entered and exited by way the birth canal.

This is likewise why the showbread table-Shulchan-שולחן [in the Holy Temple] was positioned toward the north-Tzafon-צפון, since the wealth and needs of the creatures are drawn from there. Likewise, being that the north-Tzafon-צפון is to the left, the verse therefore states,¹⁴⁰Proverbs 3:16 “Length of days is at its right, and at its left, wealth and honor.” Know that all the wealth and hidden treasures-Matzpunim-מצפונים in the north-Tzafon-צפון, are guarded in storage for the righteous Tzaddikim in the coming future. This is as stated,¹⁴¹Psalms 31:20 “How abundant is Your goodness that You have stored away-Tzafanta-צפנת for those who fear You, that you have performed for those who seek refuge in You,” and it states,¹⁴²Proverbs 2:7 “He has stored-Yitzpon-יצפן resources for the upright.”
