1. God ordained no refinement for our world,

    so never seek to refine its peoples.

  2. Nor believe what proof has shown to be false,

    lest belief bring you nothing but refutation.

  3. If God torments a people for their crimes,

    then He desires no torment for the just.

  4. Man sets upon his intimate friend and wrongs him,

    like a wolf devouring a fellow wolf when it is off guard.

Sol 5.6
