“Do not tell lies against your mother, the magistrates abhor it. The descendant who does what is good. His actions all emulate the past. Do not consort with a rowdy. It harms you when one hears of it. If you have eaten three loaves, drunk two jugs of beer, and the belly is not sated, restrain it! When another eats, don't stand there, beware of rushing to the table!” — Miriam Lichtheim
Do not tell lies against your mother,
the magistrates abhor it.
The descendant who does what is good.
His actions all emulate the past.
Do not consort with a rowdy.
It harms you when one hears of it.
If you have eaten three loaves, drunk two jugs of beer, and the belly is not sated, restrain it!
When another eats, don't stand there, beware of rushing to the table!
