דוגמאות
“בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח אָב וּבֵן כְּסִיל תּוּגַת אִמּוֹ׃”
A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
“אִישׁ בַּעַר לֹא יֵדָע וּכְסִיל לֹא יָבִין אֶת זֹאת׃”
A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.
“הַתְקַשֵּׁר מַעֲדַנּוֹת כִּימָה אוֹ מֹשְׁכוֹת כְּסִיל תְּפַתֵּחַ׃”
Canst thou bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
“שְׁמוּאֵל רָמֵי. כְּתִיב ״עֹשֶׂה עָשׁ כְּסִיל וְכִימָה״, וּכְתִיב: ״עֹשֵׂה כִימָה וּכְסִיל״. הָא כֵּיצַד? אִלְמָלֵא חַמָּה שֶׁל כְּסִיל, לֹא נִתְקַיֵּים עוֹלָם מִפְּנֵי צִינָּה שֶׁל כִּימָה. וְאִלְמָלֵא צִינָּה שֶׁל כִּימָה, לֹא נִתְקַיֵּים עוֹלָם מִפְּנֵי חַמָּה שֶׁל כְּסִיל.”
Samuel brought up a contradiction: It is written, "He makes Ursa Major, Orion, and the Pleiades," but it is written, "He makes the Pleiades and Orion." So how? Were it not for the heat of Orion, the world would not withstand the cold of the Pleiades. And were it not for the cold of the Pleiades, the world would not withstand the heat of Orion.
