| Chapter 13 : write no falsehoods and acquit debt 01 Do not cheat a man (through) pen on scroll! 02 The god abhors it! 03 Do not bear witness with false words, 04 so as to brush aside a man by your tongue. 05 Do not assess a man who has nothing, 06 and thus falsify your pen. 07 If You find a large debt against a poor man, 08 make it into three parts, 09 forgive two, let one stand. 10 You will find it a path of life. 11 After sleep, when You wake in the morning, 12 You will find it as good news! 13 Better is praise with the love of men, 14 than wealth in the storehouse. 15 Better is bread with a happy heart, 16 than wealth with vexation. |
