put down acts of injustice? [When] the ... cometh to his place of yesterday the command cometh:  ’Do a [good] deed in order that one may do a [good] deed [to thee],’ that is to say, ‘Give thanks unto everyone for what he doeth.’  This is to drive back the bolt before it is shot, and to give a command to the man who is already overburdened with orders.  Would that a moment of destruction might come, wherein thy vines should be laid low, and thy geese diminished, and thy waterfowl be made few in number! [Thus] it cometh that the man who ought to see clearly hath become blind, and he who ought to hear distinctly hath become deaf, and he who ought to be a just guide hath become one who leadeth into error.  Observe! thou art strong and powerful.  Thine arm is able to do deeds of might, and [yet] thy heart is avaricious.  Compassion hath removed itself from thee.  The wretched man whom thou hast destroyed crieth aloud in his anguish.  Thou art like unto the messenger of the god Henti (the Crocodile-god).  Set not out [to do evil] for the Lady of the Plague (i.e. Sekhmet)....  As there is nothing between thee and her for a certain purpose, so there is nothing against thee and her.  If thou wilt not do it [then] she will not show compassion.  The beggar hath the powerful owner of possessions (or revenues) robbed, and the man who hath nothing hath the man who hath secreted [much] stolen goods.  To steal anything at all from the beggar is an absolute crime on the part of the man who is not in want, and [if he doth this] shall his action not be inquired into?  Thou art filled full with thy bread, and art drunken with thy beer, and thou art rich [beyond count].  When the face of the steersman is directed to what is in front of him, the boat falleth out of its course, and saileth whithersoever it pleaseth.  When the King [remaineth] in his house, and when thou workest the rudder, acts of injustice take place round about thee, complaints are widespread, and the loss (?) is very serious.  And one saith, ‘What is taking place?’ Thou shouldst make thyself a place of refuge [for the needy].  Thy quay should be safe.  But observe!  Thy town is in commotion.  Thy tongue is righteous, make no mistake [in judgment].  The abominable behaviour of a man is, as it were, [one of] his members.  Speak no lies thyself, and take good heed that thy high officials do not do so.  Those who assess the dues on the crops are like unto a ..., and to tell lies is very dear to their hearts.  Thou who hast knowledge of the affairs of all the people, dost thou not understand my circumstances?  Observe, thou who relievest the wants of all who have suffered by water, I am on the path of him that hath no boat.  O thou who bringest every drowning man to land, and who savest the man whose boat hath foundered, art thou going to let me perish?”
