Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF PUTTING AN END TO ANY
SHAME THAT MAY BE IN THE HEART OF THE GOD for the chief
deputy of Amen, [the scribe] Mes-em-neter, victorious, [who
saith :--]

"Hymns of praise to thee, O thou god who makest the moment
"to advance, (2) thou dweller among mysteries of every kind,
"thou guardian of the word which I speak . Behold, the god
"bath shame of me, but let my faults be washed away and let
"them fall (3) upon both hands of the god of Right and Truth .
"Do away utterly with the transgression which is in me, together
"with [my] wickedness and sinfulness, O god of Right and Truth .
"May this god be at peace with me! Do away utterly with the
"(4) obstacles which are between thee and me. O thou to whom
"offerings are made in the divine [city] of Kenur,' grant thou
"that I may bring to thee the offerings which will make peace
"[between thee and men] whereon thou livest, and that I also
"may live thereon . Be thou at peace (5) with me and do away
"utterly with all the shame of me which thou hast in thy heart
"because of me ."
