One of them is “Walk modestly with your G-d.” But “walk modestly” is a verse—what is there to learn from a thief?

When a thief wants something, he doesn’t act because [unclear] to steal. “Walk modestly”—he really wants something, [unclear]. Until we find ourselves in [unclear].

It comes from within. And when it comes from within, [unclear], you enter [unclear].
