Comments:The verse is based on an eighteenth century Babylonian letter, which translated into German reads:

Ich schreibe Dir nur, um mich nach Deinem Befinden zu erkundigen. Schreibe mir, wie es Dir geht! Ich kam nach Babylon, habe Dich aber nicht getroffen worüber ich sehr bestürzt war. Schreibe mir den Grund, weshalb Du fortgegangen bist damit ich wieder froh werde!

Ungnad, Babylonischer Brief, Nr 160 18thC BC
