### Spell 125A
001 Recitation upon arriving at the Hall of Two Truths.
002 Purifying N of every wrong he has committed and seeing the faces of the gods.
003 Words spoken by N:
004 Hail to you, great god, Lord of the Two Truths.
005 I have come before you, my lord, so that you may bring me in and I may see your beauty.
006 I know you, and I know your name.
007 I know the names of the forty-two gods who are with you in this Hall of Two Truths,
008 who live on evildoers and swallow their blood
009 on that day of reckoning conduct before Wennefer.
010 See the two beloved daughters. Lord of the Two Truths is your name.
011 See, I have come before you. I have brought you truth; I have driven human wrongdoing away for you.
012 I have not mistreated livestock. I have not done wrong in the place of truth.
013 I have not known what is not. I have not done evil.
014 I did not begin any day by demanding work beyond what was due to me.
015 My name has not reached the office of the overseer of servants.
016 I have not deprived a poor man of his property.
017 I have not done what the gods detest.
018 I have not slandered a servant to his superior.
019 I have not caused pain. I have not caused hunger. I have not caused tears. I have not killed.
020 I have not destroyed provisions. I have not caused anyone suffering.
021 I have not damaged food offerings in the temples.
022 I have not diminished the offerings of the gods.
023 I have not taken the cakes of the blessed dead.
024 I have not penetrated a penetrated man. I have not masturbated.
025 I have not reduced what was required. I have not reduced the land measure.
026 I have not enlarged a field. I have not added to the balance weight.
027 I have not subtracted from the plummet of the scales.
028 I have not taken milk from the mouths of children.
029 I have not seized cattle from their pasture.
030 I have not trapped birds in the preserves of the gods.
031 I have not caught fish in their pools.
032 I have not blocked water in its season.
033 I have not built a dam across flowing water.
034 I have not extinguished a fire at its proper time.
035 I have not neglected the appointed times for choice offerings.
036 I have not driven livestock away from the god’s property.
037 I have not stopped a god during his processions.
038 I am pure four times.
039 My purity is the purity of that great Benu bird who is in Heracleopolis,
040 because I am indeed that nose of the Lord of Breath,
041 which gives life to all people on that day when the Sacred Eye is filled in Heliopolis, in the second month of the growing season, on its final day.
042 I am the one who sees the Sacred Eye filled in Heliopolis.
043 No evil will happen to me in this land, in this Hall of Two Truths,
044 because I know the names of the gods who are in it.
