1
English · E. W. West

The sage asked the spirit of wisdom

2
English · E. W. West

thus: 'Can there be any peace and affection whatever of Aharman, the wicked, and his demons and miscreations, with Aûharmazd and the archangels, one with the other, or not?'

3
English · E. W. West

The spirit of wisdom answered

4
English · E. W. West

thus: 'There cannot be, on any account whatever;

5
English · E. W. West

because Aharman meditates evil falsehood and its deeds, wrath and malice and discord,

6
English · E. W. West

and Aûharmazd meditates righteousness and its deeds, good works and goodness and truth.

7
English · E. W. West

And everything can change, except good and bad nature.

8
English · E. W. West

A good nature cannot change to evil by any means whatever, and a bad nature to goodness in any manner.

9
English · E. W. West

Aûharmazd, on account of a good nature, approves no evil and falsehood;

10
English · E. W. West

and Aharman, on account of a bad nature, accepts no goodness and truth;

11
English · E. W. West

and, on this account, there cannot be for them any peace and affection whatever, one with the other.'
