1. The sage asked the spirit of wisdom (2) thus: Which of any living existence (zîvêndag-1) is the worse? 3. And in wisdom who is the more unforeseeing 2?'
4. The spirit of wisdom answered (5) thus: 'A life of him is the worse, who lives in fear and falsehood 3. 6. And in wisdom he is the more unforeseeing, who does not provide for 4 the spiritual existence, and attends to the worldly one.'
