The chapter of not letting the body decay in the Netherworld.

Hail to thee, my father. I have come to embalm thee. Do thou embalm this flesh of mine, for I am perfect, I who do not know corruption.

Come, take hold of my breath of life, lord of the breath, lofty above his equals; vivify me, build me up.

Grant me to go down into the land of eternity, as thou doest, thou whose body never decays.

I have not done what thou hatest, the command which I obey is that which thou lovest, I have not transgressed it.

I have been delivered, being thy follower, from the rottenness which thou allowest to come over every creature, every animal, every creeping thing which is corruptible.

After his soul has departed he dies, and when it has gone down he decays; he is all corruption; all his bones are rottenness, putrefaction seizes his limbs and makes his bones break down, his flesh becomes a fetid liquid, his breath is stink, he becomes a multitude of worms.

Let there be no food for the worms, all of them. Let them not come to me when they are born. I shall not be handed over to the destroyer, who destroys the limbs, the hidden one who causes corruption, who cuts to pieces many dead bodies, who lives from destroying.

He lives who performs His commands, but I have not been delivered into his fingers, he has not prevailed upon me, for I am under Thy command, Lord of all.

Hail to thee, my father! thy limbs are lasting, thou dost not know corruption; there are no worms with thee, thou dost not stink, thou dost not putrefy, thou wilt not become worms.

My limbs are lasting for ever. I do not know corruption. I do not rot, I do not putrefy, I do not become worms.

I am, I am, I live, I live, I grow, I grow, and when I shall awake in peace, I shall not be in corruption, I shall not be destroyed in my bandages. I shall be free of pestilence, my eye will not be corrupted. My ear will not be deaf, my head will not be taken away from my neck, my tongue will not be torn away, my hair will not be cut off. No grievous harm shall come upon me, my body is firm, it shall not be destroyed. It shall not perish in this earth for ever.
