(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten


icon1   The Instruction of Amen-em-apt

1Whoever has ears, let them hear!
2Give your heart to understand them.
3It is good to put them in your heart,
4but woe to him who neglects them !
5Let them rest in the casket of your belly,
6may they be bolted in your heart.
7When there rises a whirlwind of words,
8they will be a mooring-post for your tongue.
9If You make your life with these in your heart,
10You will find it a success.
11You will find my words a storehouse for life, and
12your body will be well upon earth.
