30 Afflictions and evils exist not for thy members, for they are not of thy creation.

Oh thou, our chief, turn again thy face toward us,&mdash;thou mighty one, great one among the gods!

The path that is visible to thee is one that cannot be described, oh thou child Hunnu,

For it doth remain, though thou goest forth through heaven and earth with thy attributes!

Lo, thou art as the Bull of the two goddesses&mdash;come thou, child growing in peace, our lord!

Behold us! Thy essence existeth with us like as the essence of Tebha existeth in the place of his destruction.

Come thou in peace, oh great child of his father Mentu!

Within thy temple fear thou not:

Thy son Horus avengeth thee, and he woundeth and carrieth away him who lurked in his den,

He whose name a daily flame destroyeth from among the gods&mdash;Tebha perisheth as waste matter.

As for thee, thou hast thy temple;

Therein fear thou not Set, nor every calamity done by him or brought about by him.

Nut proceedeth forth, and embraceth thee with joyfulness;
