Do not mislead a man or woman with pen and papyrus. It is an abomination to God. Do not bear witness with false words nor injure another with your tongue. Do not tax one who has nothing, nor make your pen write falsely. If you find a large debt against a poor person, divide it into three parts, forgive two and let one stand. You will find this a path of life. You will pass the night in sound sleep and in the morning, you will find it again like good news. Better is praise with the love of others than wealth in the storehouse. Better is bread when the mind is at peace than riches with a troubled heart.

Do not confuse a person in the court of law nor mistreat the righteous. Do not give consideration to those in clean clothes and reject those who appear in rags. Accept not the gift of the strong man nor oppress the weak for him. Justice is a great gift of God and God gives it to whom God wills. Surely, the strength of one who is like God saves the wretched from their oppressor.

Do not say: "Find me a strong protector, for one in my city has injured me." And say not "Find me a redeemer, for one who hates me has done me harm." Surely, you know not the plans of God and cannot see tomorrow. Settle down, then, in the hands of God. And your self-mastery in silence will overthrow them. For ancient and deep is the fear of the crocodile who makes no sound.
