(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten
22 Provoke no enemy
| 1 | Do not provoke your adversary, |
| 2 | so as to make him tell his thoughts. |
| 3 | Do not leap to come before him, |
| 4 | when You do not see his doings. |
| 5 | First gain insight from his answer, |
| 6 | then keep still and You will succeed. |
| 7 | Leave it to him to empty his belly, |
| 8 | know how to sleep, he will be found out. |
| 9 | Grasp his feet, do not harm him. |
| 10 | Be wary of him, do not ignore him. |
| 11 | Indeed You do not know the plans of god, |
| 12 | and should not weep for tomorrow. |
| 13 | Settle in the arms of the god, and |
| 14 | your silence will overthrow them. |
