When filling a pot stop in time.
A blade honed too sharp will soon blunt.
A hall filled with gemstones cannot be protected.
When wealth and status make you proud, beware!
Withdraw when your work is done.
This is the way of heaven.
[A] {jejqu'bogh}: -qu' is redundant but the line seems to need an extra
syllable.
[B] {naghboch ngaSbogh}: "which has gemstones inside"; {ngaS} seems to work
in this context.
[C] {DaHemDI'}: Perhaps {DaHemchugh} "If wealth... " would work better.
[D] I'm hesitating between {yImej}, {yItlheD} and {yIHeD}.
[E] {'u' mIw}: Perhaps {chal mIw} is better.
