Komentaryong Sumisipi para sa Mga Kawikaan 21:16

Now behold I bring into a faithful covenant and give proper counsel to all who look into this book not to reason or entertain any thought concerning any of the mystic hints which I write regarding the hidden matters of the Torah, for I do hereby firmly make known to him [the reader] that my words will not be comprehended nor known at all by any reasoning or contemplation, excepting from the mouth of a wise Cabalist speaking into the ear of an understanding recipient.⁶¹The Hebrew is Mekabel mevin, which may also mean “an understanding Cabalist,” thus suggesting that the recipient too has already been initiated into these mysteries to a lesser degree. Reasoning about them is foolishness; any unrelated thought brings much damage and withholds the benefit. Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself,⁶²Job 15:31. for these reasonings will bring him nothing but evil as if they spoke falsely against G-d, which cannot be forgiven, as it is said, The man that strayeth out of understanding shall rest in the congregation of the shades.⁶³Proverbs 21:16. Let them not break through unto the Eternal to gaze,⁶⁴Exodus 19:21 and 24. For the Eternal our G-d is a devouring fire, even a G-d of jealousies.⁶⁵Deuteronomy 4:24.
