Avos 4:22 - 5:1

"Those that are born will die": Whoever is already born, he will die in the future.

"and those that are dead": will live [again] in the future and stand [trial] at the day of judgement, these to [receive] eternal life and those to [receive] disgrace and eternal shame.

"and the living to judge": They are standing to be judged on the day of judgement.

"[It is necessary] to know": from others.

"to make known": to others.

"and to become conscious": to understand on his own.

"He is the Maker": As the whole world is in His hand like clay in the hand of the [craftsman]. And what is the reason? Because "He is the Creator" that created the whole world ex nihilo. Therefore He can do with it according to His will.

"He is the Understander, He is the Judge": Since he understands all of their deeds, He brings them to judgment in front of Him.

"He is the Litigant": as he prosecutes the sinners.

"and He is destined to judge:" in the world to come.

"no respect of persons, no taking of bribes": as he does not have respect of persons, even for the completely righteous; that he should not punish him for the light sin that came to his hand. And he does not take the bribe of [the fulfillment of] a commandment for the sin, but rather gives the reward for the commandment and the punishment for the sin. So explained Rambam.

"And know that everything is according to the reckoning": All the small amounts join together to a large sum. So when light sins are numerous, they add up to a large sum.

"because against your will you were created": As the soul does not want to exit from [behind] the curtain - the holy place where the souls repose - and to enter the innards of a woman in an impure place. And an angel comes and brings it out against its will and places it in the innards of the woman.

"and against your will you were born": At the time of birth, [the baby] does not want to go out and the angel brings it out against its will.

"and against your will you live": There is [the case of] a man who is suffering with afflictions and wants to die but cannot.

With ten utterances: Nine [times in the creation story does it state] "and He said"; and "In the beginning" is also an utterance, as it is written (Psalms 33:6), "With the word of the Lord were the heavens made."

who destroy the world: Since 'anyone that destroys one soul of Israel is as if they destroyed an entire world,' and [since] the wicked destroy their souls because of their sins, it is as if they destroy the world. So have I found. And it appears to me that they literally destroy the world, as they tip the scales of the whole world towards guilt, and it comes out that the world is destroyed on their account.

that was created with ten utterances: And one who destroys work that was done in one day is not similar to one who destroys work that was done in many days.
