[151a - 53 lines; 151b - 51 lines]
1)[line 15]לאתויי הא דתנו רבנןL'ASUYEI HA D'TANU RABANAN- (The Gemara could have just as well quoted the coming Mishnah, which states clearly that it is permitted to be Machshich for a Kalah. The Gemara brought a Beraisa instead, because the Beraisa makes it clear that (a) Aba Shaul is the author of the coming Mishnah, and (b) that he permits discussing the needs of a Kalah on Shabbos, and not just being Machshich.)

16)[line 13]"עד (שלא) [אשר] ירתק חבל הכסף, ותרוץ גולת הזהב; ותשבר כד על המבוע, ונרוץ הגלגל אל הבור""AD (SHE'LO) [ASHER] LO YERASEK CHEVEL HA'KESEF, V'SARUTZ GULAS HA'ZAHAV, V'SISHAVER KAD AL HA'MABU'A, V'NAROTZ HA'GALGAL EL HA'BOR" - "Before the silver cord snaps (alt., dries out and becomes crooked like a chain), or the golden bowl is shattered, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel is smashed at the pit" (Koheles 12:6) (THE DECLINE OF THE BODY IN OLD AGE)
(a)King Shlomo, in Chapter 12 of Koheles, entreats people to do Teshuvah before it is too late. The verses quoted on 151b-153a provide a poignant parable for the physical decline of the body, which starts with the admonition, "So remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come" (12:1).
(b)Verse 6 is cited by the Gemara here to prove that the stomach swells and bursts after death.
17)[line 17]"וזריתי פרש על פניכם...""V'ZEIRISI PERESH AL PENEICHEM..."- "... and I will spread dung upon your faces, the dung of your feasts..." (Malachi 2:3) - The prophet admonishes Bnei Yisrael that if they indulge in unnecessary pleasures, they will pay dearly for them in the end.
18)[line 19]אלו בני אדם שמניחין דברי תורהELU BNEI ADAM SHE'MANICHIN DIVREI TORAH- That is, the verse is admonishing people that abandon Torah study in favor of physical pleasures. (The verse does not mean that only their stomachs burst, as opposed to others. Rather, it means that it is necessary to remind such people of this gory fact.)

26)[line 33]"אדם ביקר בל ילין; נמשל כבהמות נדמו""ADAM BI'YEKAR BAL YALIN, NIMSHAL KA'BEHEMOS NIDMU"- "A man cannot rely that his wealth will remain with him until morning, one [who trusts in his wealth] is comparable to animal [who lack understanding]" (Tehilim 49:13). This verse is explained allegorically as follows: "Nimshal" - if he is ruled (attacked) [by animals], then "ka'Behemos Nidmu" - [it is because] he resembled an animal.
27)[line 34]אסור לישן בבית יחידיASUR LISHON B'BAYIS YECHIDI- it is forbidden to sleep alone in a house or closed room. (It is not clear why the Gemara mentions this at this point - see Marbeh Shalom. Apparently, the Gemara is comparing demons to animals; both do not attack a person unless he is alone. Since demons only attack at night (Berachos 3b), one is warned not to sleep (i.e., spend the night) alone. SEFAS EMES)
28)[line 34]אחזתו ליליתACHAZTO LILIS- he will become possessed by the demoness, Lilith
