(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten
29 Travel honestly
| 1 | Do not prevent people from crossing the river, |
| 2 | if You stride freely in the ferry. |
| 3 | When You are given an oar in the midst of the deep, |
| 4 | bend your arms and take it. |
| 5 | It is no crime in the hand of the god, |
| 6 | If the sailor does not welcome You. |
| 7 | Do not make yourself a ferry on the river, |
| 8 | and then labour to seek its fare. |
| 9 | Take the fare from him who is wealthy, |
| 10 | and let pass him who is poor. |
