The good walker stirs up no dust.
The good speaker incurs no discussion.
The good reckoner needs no arithmetic.
The good keeper needs no bolts or bars.
The good binder needs no rope.
The wise one is a constant
and good helper of friends.
Rejecting nothing,
she is a good preserver of things;
disdaining nothing,
her intelligence is all-embracing.
Good people guid one another.
Those people who do not live as they teach
or cherish their material–
though they may be called wise
they are in a state of delusion.
