(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten


icon27   Do not revile an elder

1Do not revile one older than You,
2he has seen the Holy Spirit before You.
3Let him not report You to God at his rising,
4saying : 'A youth has reviled an old man.'
5Very painful before God
6is a youth who reviles an elder.
7Let him beat You while your hand is on your chest,
8let him revile You while You are silent.
9If the next day You come before him,
10he will give You food in plenty.
11A dog's food is from its master, and
12he barks to him who gives it.
