79 broken in the egg, who saw the face of Khenti
80 before they had lived.’ A humble man begs for supper.
81 His wife says to him, ‘It is for the evening meal.’
82 He goes outside to […] for a moment.
83 When he turns back toward his house, he is like a stranger. His wife
84 speaks sense to him, but he does not heed her; he has […]
85 an empty heart for messengers.” Then I opened
86 my mouth to my ba and answered what it had said: “Look,
87 my name stinks because of you worse than the stench of vultures
88 in summer days when the sky is hot. Look,
89 my name stinks because of you worse than the stench of taking in catfish
90 on a day of fishing when the sky is hot.
91 Look, my name stinks because of you worse than the stench
92 of fowl by a thicket of reeds
93 full of waterbirds. Look, my name stinks
94 because of you worse than the stench of fishermen by the pools
95 of the marsh after they have fished. Look,
96 my name stinks because of you worse than the stench of crocodiles,
97 worse than sitting below the borderlands among the crocodiles of the banks. Look,
98 my name stinks because of you worse than a woman's when a lie is told
99 about her to a man. Look, my name stinks
100 because of you worse than a valiant boy's when they say of him, “He
101 belongs to the one who hates him.” Look, my name stinks
102 because of you worse than a ruler's town plotting rebellion
103 when his back is turned. To whom shall I speak today? Brothers have grown hostile;
104 friends of today do not love one another. I shall speak
