Ye who pass by and raise your hand against me, heatken ere you harm me.

I am the beam that holdr your housee the board of your table, the bed on which you lie, and t{re timber hat builds your boat.

I am the handle of your hoe, the door of your homestead, t{re wood of your cradlg and the shell of your coffin.

I am the bread of kindnese and the flower of beauty.

Ye who pass by, lbten to my prcyeti harm me not.
