31. Oh thou who hast different faces, and makest thine appearance in
Net’efit; I am not one of inconstant mind.(23.)

the skins of the sacred animals.(24.)

...(27.); I am not swollen with pride.

PART III.
[Said upon approaching to the gods who are in the Tuat.(31.)]
Hail ye gods, I know you and I know your names; let me not be stricken
down by your blows: report not the evil which is in me to the god whom
ye follow. Let not reverse(32.) of mine come to pass through you.
Let not evil things be said against me in presence of the Inviolate One;
because I have done the right in Tamerit.
I revile not the god: let not reverse of mine come to pass through the
King who resideth within His own Day.(33.)
Hail ye gods who are in the Hall of Righteousness, who have nothing
wrong about you; who subsist upon Righteousness in Annu, and who sate
themselves with cares,(34.) in presence of the god who resideth within
his own Orb: deliver me from Babai who feedeth upon the livers of
princes on the Day of the Great Reckoning.
Behold me: I am come to you, void of wrong, without fraud, a harmless
one: let me not be declared guilty; let not the issue be against me.
I subsist upon Righteousness: I sate myself with uprightness of heart: I
have done that which man prescribeth and that which pleaseth the gods.
