| I condemn myself [for the past], and will be on my guard against future calamity. | |
| I will have nothing to do with a wasp, | |
| To seek for myself its painful sting. | |

| But it took wing and became a [large] bird. | |
| I am unequal to the many difficulties of the kingdom; | |
| And I am placed in the midst of bitter experiences. |
