you are here: > The (Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten > Chapter 13
 
Chapter 13 (write no falsehoods and acquit debt)  
     
1.
Do not cheat a man through pen on scroll !
 
2.
The god abhors it !  
3.
Do not bear witness with false words, 
 
4.
so as to brush aside a man by your tongue.
 
5.
Do not assess a man who has nothing,
 
6.
and thus falsify your pen.
 
7.
If You find a large debt against a poor man, 
 
8.
make it into three parts,
 
9.
forgive two, let one stand.
 
10.
You will find it a path of life.
 
11.
After sleep, when You wake in the morning,
 
12.
You will find it as good news !
 
13.
Better is praise with the love of men,
 
14.
than wealth in the storehouse.
 
15.
Better is bread with a happy heart,
 
16.
than wealth with vexation.
