I have not caused the slave to be ill-treated by his master. I have made none to hunger. I have made none to weep. I have not committed murder. I have not caused any man to be treacherously murdered. I have not dealt treacherously with any one. I have not diminished the offerings of bread in the temples. I have not spoiled the shewbread of the gods. I have not robbed the dead of their loaves and cerecloths. I have not been unchaste. I have not defiled myself in the sanctuary of the god of my city. I have not stinted and been niggardly of offerings. I have not defrauded in weighing the scales. I have not given false weight. I have not taken the milk from the mouth of the child. I have not hunted the cattle in their meadows. I have not netted the birds of the gods. I have not fished in their preserves. I have not kept the water (from my neighbour) in the time of inundation. I have not cut off a water channel. I have not extinguished the flame at a wrong time. I have not defrauded the Ennead of the gods of the choice parts of the victims. I have not driven away the oxen of the temple. I have not driven back a god when he has left the temple. I am pure! I am pure! I am pure!”(145) The negative confession ended, the dead man turned to the forty-two assessors and pleaded that he was innocent of the particular sin which they had been severally appointed to judge. Then he once more addressed Osiris with a final plea for justification: “Hail to you, ye gods who are in the great hall of the Twofold Truth, who have no falsehood in your bosoms, but who live on truth in On, and feed your hearts upon it before the lord god who dwelleth in his solar disc. Deliver me from the Typhon who feedeth on entrails, O chiefs! in this hour of supreme judgment; grant that the deceased may come unto you, he who hath not sinned, who hath neither lied, nor done evil, nor committed any crime, who hath not borne false witness, who hath done nought against himself, but who liveth on truth, who feedeth on truth. He hath spread joy on all sides; men speak of that which he hath done, and the gods rejoice in it. He hath reconciled the god to him by his love; he hath given bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty, clothing to the naked; he hath given a boat to the shipwrecked; he hath offered sacrifices to the gods, sepulchral meals to the dead. Deliver him from himself, speak not against him before the lord of the dead, for his mouth is pure and his hands are pure!”(146)
