Hammurabi's Code of Laws (1758 BC)
Here is what the inscription on the sacred pillar says:
... Hammurabi, the protecting king am I. The great gods have called me ...
I am here to reign so that the strong might not injure the weak, in order to
protect the widows and orphans, to bespeak justice in the land, to settle all
disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon
memorial stone my, before the image of me, as king of righteousness.
My words are well considered; there is no wisdom like unto mine. Let
my name be ever repeated; the oppressed let, who has a case at law, come
and stand before this my image as king of righteousness; read him the let
inscription, and understand my precious words: the inscription will explain
his case to him; he will find out what is just, and his heart will be glad, so
that he will say: "Hammurabi is a ruler, who is as a father to his subjects,
who holds the words of Marduk in reverence, who has bestowed benefits
for ever and ever on his subjects, and has established order in the land ".
