1. It is not just, O people of justice, that you forget
My worth among you in decline

2. I aimed you straight, so you shot arrows
That hit their mark, though you were once errant

3. And if in life you reject doing good
You won’t avail at the Path Straight

4. Indeed, he from whom no good is expected
Deserves only to be whipped with lashes

5. If you reject my glory, bounty, knowledge
And my striving to benefit and protect you

6. Then apart from you, my students have become
Like the tribes of Jacob in number

7. Attending to me eagerly
As I work hard for their benefit

8. You have folded the carpet of your righteousness
For a while now, so where is its unfurling?

9. I do not seek from you raisins or currants
Or anything counted as trifles

10. I am tired of what I mentioned
So be generous with vinegar or broth
