I think this phrase is from the kabbalah (avodah zarah 28b) but im not positive. i would like it to be translated into actual hebrew, and not just transliterated. thank you for your time.

Thank you so much for responding to my question as quickly as you did, as well as for providing me with so much information (I know I requested a lot -- what with the hebrew, transliteration, and spelling). You've done a wonderful job. Thanks again.
