### Part 1 — Why Wealth Unsettles the Mind

- Scene 3 · LM II:64 §1 · paragraph §1.1
  - HE: מַה שֶּׁאָנוּ רוֹאִים, שֶׁכָּל הַנְּגִידִים הַגְּדוֹלִים, כִּמְעַט כֻּלָּם, הֵם מְשֻׁגָּעִים מַמָּשׁ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָנוּ רוֹאִין בְּחוּשׁ, שֶׁכָּל מִי שֶׁהוּא עָשִׁיר, יֵשׁ לוֹ שִׁגָּעוֹן גָּדוֹל –
  - EN (our paraphrase): We see that the great magnates, almost all of them, are truly mad, as we see plainly that whoever is rich has a great madness.
- Scene 4 · LM II:64 §1 · paragraph §1.2
  - HE: דַּע, כִּי הַמָּמוֹן עוֹשֶׂה אוֹתוֹ מְשֻׁגָּע, כִּי הַמָּמוֹן הוּא מִנְּפִילַת הָעֲשִׁירוּת שֶׁל הַנְּבִיאִים, כִּי כָל הַנְּבִיאִים הָיוּ עֲשִׁירִים, וְהַנְּבוּאָה כְּשֶׁבָּאָה עַל הַנָּבִיא, הָיָה כְּמוֹ מִשְׁתַּגֵּעַ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁפֵּרֵשׁ רַשִׁ"י: וַיִּתְנַבֵּא – וְאִשְׁתַּטֵּי;
  - EN (our paraphrase): Know that the money makes him mad. For money comes from the fall of the wealth of the prophets, for all the prophets were wealthy; and when prophecy came upon the prophet he was like one beside himself, as Rashi explained: 'and he prophesied' means 'and he spoke wildly'.
- Scene 6 · LM II:64 §1 · paragraph §1.3
  - HE: וְאֵצֶל הַנְּגִידִים הַנַּ"ל נַעֲשֶׂה עַל־יְדֵי הַמָּמוֹן שִׁגָּעוֹן גָּמוּר, וְעַל־כֵּן הֵם נַעֲשִׂים מְשֻׁגָּעִים עַל־יְדֵי הָעֲשִׁירוּת שֶׁלָּהֶם:
  - EN (our paraphrase): And with these magnates, the money produces complete madness; therefore they become mad through their wealth.
