("In the first stanza it is written 'Remember that you were created and you are not the Creator', in the second stanza it is written 'For you are dust and food for deceit and worms', the third stanza 'He who does not show mercy today – tomorrow he will not be shown mercy' – Rabbi Shlomo Ibn Gabirol / From Pninei Choice, Gate of Stubbornness).

מִי שֶׁאֵינוֹ מְרַחֵם עַל הַזּוּלָת מִסְתַּכֵּן שֶׁלֹּא יִרְחֲמוּ עָלָיו כְּשֶׁיִּהְיֶה זָקוּק לְרַחֲמִים.

("בַּטּוּר הָרִאשׁוֹן הָיָה כָּתוּב 'זְכֹר כִּי אַתָּה נִבְרָא וְאֵינְךָ בּוֹרֵא', בַּטּוּר הַשֵּׁנִי כָּתוּב 'כִּי עָפָר אַתָּה וּמַאֲכָל רִמָּה וְתוֹלֵעָה', הַטּוּר הַשְּׁלִישִׁי 'אֲשֶׁר לֹא יְרַחֵם הַיּוֹם – לְמָחָר לֹא יְרֹחָם" – ר' שְׁלֹמֹה אִבְּן גַּבִּירוֹל/מִבְחַר פְּנִינִים, שַׁעַר הָעִקְּשׁוּת).
