(cf. UET 6/2 252, 6.2.5: YBC 7344, 4.06.1: Seg. C ll. 3-16, 5.2.4: l. 9)A man without a personal god does not procure much food, does not procure even a little food. Going down to the river, he does not catch any fish. Going down to a field, he does not catch any gazelle. In important matters he is unsuccessful. When running, he does not reach his goal. Yet were his god favourable toward him, anything he might name would be provided for him.
