62 Wert thou to incline thine ear unto My speech and observe My counsel, God would exalt thee to so eminent a position that the designs of no man on the whole earth can ever touch or hurt thee.  Observe, O King, with thine inmost heart and with thy whole being, the precepts of God, and walk not in the paths of the oppressor.  Seize thou, and hold firmly within the grasp of thy might, the reins of the affairs of thy people, and examine in person whatever pertaineth unto them.  Let nothing escape thee, for therein lieth the highest good.

63 Render thanks unto God for having chosen thee out of the whole world, and made thee king over them that profess thy faith.  It well beseemeth thee to appreciate the wondrous favours with which God hath favoured thee, and to magnify continually His name.  Thou canst best praise Him if thou lovest His loved ones, and dost safeguard and protect His servants from the mischief of the treacherous, that none may any longer oppress them.  Thou shouldst, moreover, arise to enforce the law of God amongst them, that thou mayest be of those who are firmly established in His law.

64 Shouldst thou cause rivers of justice to spread their waters amongst thy subjects, God would surely aid thee with the hosts of the unseen and of the seen, and would strengthen thee in thine affairs.  No God is there but Him.  All creation and its empire are His.  Unto Him return the works of the faithful.

65 Place not thy reliance on thy treasures.  Put thy whole confidence in the grace of God, thy Lord.  Let Him be thy trust in whatever thou doest, and be of them that have submitted themselves to His Will.  Let Him be thy helper and enrich thyself with His treasures, for with Him are the treasuries of the heavens and of the earth.  He bestoweth them upon whom He will, and from whom He will He withholdeth them.  There is none other God but Him, the All-Possessing, the All-Praised.  All are but paupers at the door of His mercy; all are helpless before the revelation of His sovereignty, and beseech His favours.

66 Overstep not the bounds of moderation, and deal justly with them that serve thee.  Bestow upon them according to their needs, and not to the extent that will enable them to lay up riches for themselves, to deck their persons, to embellish their homes, to acquire the things that are of no benefit unto them, and to be numbered with the extravagant.  Deal with them with undeviating justice, so that none among them may either suffer want, or be pampered with luxuries.  This is but manifest justice.

67 Allow not the abject to rule over and dominate them who are noble and worthy of honour, and suffer not the high-minded to be at the mercy of the contemptible and worthless, for this is what We observed upon Our arrival in the City, and to it We bear witness.  We found among its inhabitants some who were possessed of an affluent fortune and lived in the midst of excessive riches, while others were in dire want and abject poverty.  This ill beseemeth thy sovereignty, and is unworthy of thy rank.
