Plain text of Thirtieth Chapter
539 Behold the Thirty Chapters!
540 They will give (thee) pleasure, they will teach (thee),
541 They will (serve as) a leader (guide) to every book
542 They will give knowledge to (make to be wise) the ignorant man.
543 If they be read out in the presence of an ignorant man
544 Assuredly he will steer his course (through life) according to their mouth (direction).
545 Fill thyself full (steep thyself) in (the counsel of) what is in them, set them, I beseech thee, in thy heart;
546 Make thyself to be the man who has unravelled their contents,
547 Thinking out and understanding (their) teaching.
548 If (the bearer be) a scribe who would make himself to be pre-eminent in his profession,
549 He will find himself to be of equal importance with the SMERU (the "friends" of the King).
550 Here ends the Book (Explicit liber).
