He who puts his brother in the ground is everywhere.The word of the wise has fled without delay.Lo, the son of man is denied recognition,The child of his lady became the son of his maid.Lo, the desert claims the land,The nomes are destroyed.

Truly, he who is yonder will be a wise man.

Lo, there is much hatred in the streets,The wise says, “Yes,”the fool says, “No,”The ignorant is satisfied.

And he who is wise will libate for me,When he sees fulfilled what I have spoken!
