The Nesu Enderase - The Instruction of Amenemope

Chapter 6

Desire, then, to make yourself prosper,
And take care for the Lord of All;
Do not trample on the furrow of someone else,
Their good order will be profitable for you.
So plough the fields, and you will find whatever you need,
And receive the bread from your own threshing floor:
Better is the bushel which Amen gives you
Than five thousand deceitfully gotten;
