Do not laugh at a blind man nor scorn a dwarf

Nor spoil the plan of a lame man.

Do not scorn a man who is in the hand of God

Nor be fierce of countenance towards him when he has erred. (Amenemope 24.9–12)

Do not insult the downtrodden and . . .

Do not sneer at them autocratically.

With this a man’s god is angry.

It is not pleasing to Shamash, who will repay him with evil. (Babylonian Counsels of Wisdom 57–60)[1]

and the glory of children is their parents.
