Plain text of Fifteenth Chapter

LXIV.

319 Do the thing that is right and thou wilt attain to a (true) state of being.

LXV.

320 Make no erasure in the registers on behalf of an encroacher.

LXVI.

321 Since [the gift of GOD the All-Knowing] is the finger of the scribe,

322 Take good heed not to thrust it aside.

323 [An angel of GOD the All-Knowing] sits directing Per-Khemenu (Hermopolis),

324 His eye travels round about through the Two Lands (Upper and Lower Egypt).

325 Since he observes the man who makes a slip (mistake) with his finger,

326 He will withdraw his benefactions (endowments) according to what is right.

327 If the scribe continues to make slips (mistakes) with his finger.

328 His son will not be decreed (for employment).

LXVII.

329 If thou wilt pass the days of thy life these things being in thy heart,

330 Thy children--behold them!
