The Teaching for Merikare
c. 2135-2040 B.C.
Be skillful in speech, that you may be strong; [ . . . ] it is the
strength of [ . . . ] the tongue, and words are braver than all fighting 1
2 3 . . . a wise man is a school for the magnates, and those who are aware
of his knowledge do not attack him.
The Teaching for Merikare
Par. 4
1 See Cervantes
2 See Burton
3 See BulwerLytton
Copy your forefathers, 1 for work is carried out through knowledge; see,

make your lasting monument in the love of you.
The Teaching for Merikare
Par. 5
1 See Tacitus
Wretched is he who has bound the land to himself [ . . . ]; a fool is he

long; 1 2 3 he is fortunate who has a good remembrance in it.
The Teaching for Merikare
Par. 6
1 See Homer
2 See Pindar
3 See Aristophanes
Do justice, that you may live long upon earth. Calm the weeper, do not
oppress the widow, do not oust a man from his father's property, do not
degrade magnates from their seats. Beware of punishing wrongfully; do not
kill, for it will not profit you.
The Teaching for Merikare
Par. 8
More acceptable is the character of the straightforward man than the ox
of the wrongdoer. Serve God, that He may do the like for you . . . Provide
for men, the cattle of God, for He made heaven and earth 1 at their desire.
He suppressed the greed of the waters, He gave the breath of life to their
noses, for they are likenesses of Him which issued from His flesh. 2
The Teaching for Merikare
Par. 22
1 See Psalm 121:2
2 See Genesis 1:26
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what
is remembered.

Without seam, without joining together!
