A Message Through The Ages From Anne Frank

לְֽ֭תַאֲוָה יְבַקֵּ֣שׁ נִפְרָ֑ד בְּכׇל־תּ֝וּשִׁיָּ֗ה יִתְגַּלָּֽע׃

He who isolates himself pursues his desires; He disdains all competence.

מֹאזְנֵ֣י מִ֭רְמָה תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת יְהֹוָ֑ה וְאֶ֖בֶן שְׁלֵמָ֣ה רְצוֹנֽוֹ׃

False scales are an abomination to Hashem; An honest weight pleases Him.

בְּ֭נִי תּוֹרָתִ֣י אַל־תִּשְׁכָּ֑ח וּ֝מִצְוֺתַ֗י יִצֹּ֥ר לִבֶּֽךָ׃

My son, do not forget my teaching, But let your mind retain my commandments;

Like channeled water is the mind of the king in Hashem's hand; He directs it to whatever He wishes.
