Всё это случилось, дабы впредь не возносилось ни одно дерево, растущее при водах, и не скрывало вершину свою в облаках и дабы ни одно из обильно орошаемых деревьев не достигало такой высоты! Ибо и правители все на смерть обречены, сойдут в глубины земли вместе с прочими смертными, которые сходят в могилу“.
