Chapter 16 (do not corrupt the balance) | |
1. |
Do not tamper the scales, nor falsify the weights, |
|
2. |
nor diminish the fractions of the measure. |
|
3. |
Do not desire a measure of the fields, and then |
|
4. |
neglect those of the treasury. |
|
5. |
The Ape sits by the balance, |
|
6. |
his heart is in the plummet. |
|
7. |
Where is there a God as great as Thoth ? |
|
8. |
Who invented these things and made them ? |
|
9. |
Do not make for yourself deficient weights, |
|
10. |
they are rich in grief through the might of god. |
|
11. |
If You see someone who cheats, |
|
12. |
keep your distance from him. |
|
13. |
Do not covet copper, |
|
14. |
disdain beautiful linen. |
|
15. |
What good is one dressed in finery, |
|
16. |
if he cheats before the god ? |
|
17. |
Faience disguised as gold, |
|
18. |
comes morning, and it turns to lead. |
