not

Revere not idols vainly; but the God

And into unjust judgment come thou not.

Do not cast out the poor unrighteously,

Strike not the scales oneside, but draw them equal.

Forswear not ignorantly nor willingly;

Never receive in hand. Do not steal seed;

Indulge not vile lusts, slander not, nor kill.

Indulge not vile lusts, slander not, nor kill.

Give the toilworn his hire; do not afflict

And say not, "Come to-morrow." Of thy grain

Not sacrifice, but mercy God desires

When he to judgment comes. Disable not

Eat not blood, and abstain from things

Offered to idols. Gird not on the sword

'Tis worthless. Harm not any growing fruit

But let there not be anyone a stranger

Any sure place. Wish not nor pray for wealth;

Is mother of all evil. Do not long

Wert, not to mortals such a longed-for bane!

Plot no deceit, and do not arm thy heart

Against a friend. Keep not concealed within

I tell not; but let each man's will be right.

Pride not thyself in wisdom, power, or wealth;

And full of riches. Do not vex thy heart

Can never be undone. Let not thy hand

Excessive good has not brought forth to men

Be not thou envious, faithless, or abusive,

Imitate not what's evil, but leave thou

Trust not too quickly ere thou see the end.]

Terrible, childish, not perceiving this,

That when the tribes of women do not bear

Not paying them at all, nor offering

And equal land for all, divided not

And walk not in the straight way, always mindful

Him sculptor's hand made not, nor is his form

Ye do not worship neither fear ye God,

Will many widows not at all keep faith,

Of life those who have husbands do not keep.

And fought not; for a father's oaths were there

For righteousness and virtue, and not greed,

That have not, but are needy, thus fulfilling

Thou didst not keep, but, erring, thou didst serve

Unseemly images, and didst not fear

As one not born; and then shalt thou be filled

And walls demolish. And not signs of good

Of Ilium, not truthfully, indeed,

Not easily exhausted, much renowned,

As thou in thine own heart didst not foresee,

Shalt slay thyself. And thou shalt not of men

Not for a long time shall Chalcedon be.

Not one of you shall in the common light

Much shalt thou give, not anything receive.

There shall not be one to supply the toil

Honor the All-Father's name, and let it not

Ye should not make till all things come to pass,

Which God alone shall purpose not in vain

They have not by vain things been led astray,

And they have not base intercourse with boys,

Because they would not honor piously

Do not delay and loiter, but do thou,

And he will not by his own counsels do

Envy is not a good to wretched men.

And have his people that obey not God.

Shall all fall to the earth, since they knew not

Himself bade me proclaim. And that shall not

For not the hand of evil war, but rather

For forest wood shall not be cut for

Do not move Camarina; for 'tis better

Do thou not let an evil meet with thee.

But keep off, do not hold within thy breast

And do not murder; for the Immortal One

Formed not like speechless idols carved of stone.

For he has not for his abode a stone

For he may not be seen from earth nor measured

To the great glory of one God and not

Not ever imitate; but, mocking them

The Macedonian power shall not abide;

Repentance; he will not destroy; and wrath

But if, ill-disposed, ye obey me not,

For Philip a dead body (not of Zeus,

Of Ammon not true things were prophesied),

Escape not fate unseemly, but shall be

Fallen from the stars, thou shalt not rise to heaven."

Which things it is not right for me to mention,

(Of cities) war shall not leave, nor (plague) . . .

He lurked against a nation not desired

And impious soul. Didst thou not understand

For thee? Thou shalt not even to the time

Of mortals wished for thee? Who has not been

And lawless, shall to heaven not so much

Take me not, willing, to the neighboring land

Not pity hostile men, who sacrifice

Or even darts, which things shall not again

For not without the rites of burial

Ask not nor be concerned how thou shalt lead

Upon the shore. And locusts not a few

Because of which they did not understand

Because they did not keep that which God gave.

Cancer remained not, for he feared Orion;

Ill-disposed didst not apprehend thy God
