Paragraph t561.p81 (line(s) 255-260) Click line no. for paragraph-aligned layout of transliteration and translation.
You should not speak arrogantly to your mother; that causes hatred for you. You should not question the words of your mother and your personal god. The mother, like Utu, gives birth to the man; the father, like a god, makes him bright (?). The father is like a god: his words are reliable. The instructions of the father should be complied with.
