(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten
4 The Two Types of Men
| 1 | As to the heated man in the temple, |
| 2 | he is like a tree growing indoors, only |
| 3 | a moment lasts its growth of shoots, and |
| 4 | its end comes about in the woodshed, or |
| 5 | it is floated far from its place, |
| 6 | the flame is its burial shroud. |
| 7 | The truly silent, who keeps apart, |
| 8 | he is like a tree grown in a meadow. |
| 9 | it greens, it doubles its yield, |
| 10 | it stands in front of its Lord, |
| 11 | its fruit is sweet, its shade delightful, |
| 12 | its end is reached in the garden. |
