\ngave nothing at all to anyone. All during the day, until [the next] dawn came, he lent nothing to anyone. On the morrow, then, indeed, the demon was enclosed in one’s net. He died. For in truth this was his destiny, for they sought him contmually, and it then was the time of his ruin. For he knew in his heart, while yet he lived, that perchance somewhere he might be seized. For so had he been born only to die.1 Never was he content nor happy; he went about in rags, poorly clothed. And he lived only in suffering. He raged over drink and food. Everywhere was he feared; nowhere could he enter among people. No one was his friend.
\nBut although he were seized and taken, he was not frightened, nor did he therefore cease. He paid no heed. If he had children, always he lived the same, never wishing to mend his ways. There he went to his end, and they punished him. Thus all went; thus all was destroyed.
\nJust so if it were a woman, all evil were her works. She lived in great misery. Nowhere was her home. Even though she were a noblewoman, nowhere was she favored or noticed. Just as if dead, she lived in affliction. It was said that just so was her day sign one of misery.
