    See, the Serpent is taken from its hole,The secrets of Egypt's kings are bared.See, the residence is fearful from want.Men stir up strife unopposed.See, the land is tied up in gangs,The coward is emboldened to seize his goods.See, the Serpent the dead.He who could not make a coffin owns a tomb.See, those who owned tombs are cast on high ground,He who could not make a grave owns a treasury.See now, the transformations of people,He who did not build a hut is an owner of coffers.
