Heed Me
1. Why do you love those who hate me
and hate those who love me?
2. You who deny me confess me,
and you who confess me deny me.
3. You who speak the truth about me lie about me,
and you who lie about me speak the truth about me.
4. You who know me, be ignorant of me,
and those who have known me not, let them know me,
for I am knowledge and ignorance.
5. I am shame and pride.
6. I am without shame; I am ashamed.
7. I am strength and I am fear.
8. I am war and peace.
9. Heed me: I am the disgraced and the great.
10. Heed my poverty and my wealth.
11. Be not arrogant toward me when I am cast down on the ground,
[and] you will find me in [those who] will come to be.
12. And when you look [at] me on the dung-heap,
do not abandon and leave me cast out,
and you will find me in the kingdoms.
13. And do not despise me when I am cast out among the disgraced,
and when in the lowliest places, laugh not at me,
and cast me not out among those killed in violence.
