Plain text of Chapter LXIX

Otherwise said:

I am a flaming one, and brother to a flaming one.

I am a servant who suffered wrong. He who avengeth me is my son, in company with his mother, upon mine adversaries; adversaries who have done to me all wicked and evil things.

Chains have been put upon their arms and hands and feet in consequence of the evil things which they have done to me.

I am the eldest of the great company, and heir of my father.

I am the lord of the heads of life; powerful before and behind.

I am Sahu, who assigneth the bounds as he saileth round the starry throng of Heaven.

I am the bull in the field.

O Great One, who enterest and speakest to him who presenteth the tablets and guardeth the door, grant that I may come in and be glorified, let me be appraised, and let me be made vigorous, that I may come and avenge myself.

Let me sit at the cradle of the righteous, and put an end to my suffering and pain; let me be made strong and vigorous, so that I may be born anew and renewed. (Said twice.)

Let me seize that Thigh with which I may open the mouth, and sit by him, like the Wise Scribe, sound of heart, with thousands of loaves, beer, beef, and fowl upon the table of my father, and the flesh of oxen and birds of various kinds, which I offer in charity, which I present for the sake of the Wise, and which I sacrifice for the sake of the Lord of Heaven.
