1. And truly a story came to me from the left,
And ignorance, though a man should not be ignorant,

2. For you have attempted ignorance and strife,
And you strive in vain if you strive with the ineffective,

3. And how could I oppose a group who discipline you
For truth, lest they adulterate it with falsehood,

4. My liver refused, I will not lie to you about their fighting,
And my palms and fingers refused me, upon myself my fingers.
