7. Rabbi Shimon said: When the soul of a person reincarnates, MEANING A SECOND TIME AROUND, without gaining merits to be changed for the better, it is as though he betrays the truth of the King and I apply to him the verse, ."..or has found that which was lost, and have lied concerning it, and have sworn falsely..." (Vayikra 5:22). "And have lied concerning it," MEANING TO THE SOUL, it would have been better for him had he not been created, FOR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER HAD HE NOT REINCARNATED INTO THIS WORLD.
7. אָמַר רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, הַאי ב"נ דְּנָטִיל גִּלְגוּלָא דְּנִשְׁמְתָא, וְלָא זָכֵי דְּיִתְתָּקַּן בֵּיהּ, כְּאִילּוּ מְשַׁקֵּר בְּקוּשְׁטָא דְּמַלְכָּא. וַאֲנָא קָרֵינָּא עָלֵיהּ הַאי קְרָא אוֹ מָצָא אֲבֵידָה וְכִחֶשׁ בָּהּ וְנִשְׁבַּע עַל שָׁקֶר. וְכִחֶשׁ בָּהּ, טַב לֵיהּ דְּלָא אִבְרֵי.
