G INTO THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE; whosoever knoweth [it] shall not see
corruption. The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

"I am the divine Soul of Ra proceeding from the god Nu; that divine soul
which is God, [I am] the creator of the divine food, and that which is an
abomination unto me is sin whereon I look not. I proclaim right and truth,
and I live therein. I am the divine food, which is not corrupted in my
name of Soul: I gave birth unto myself together with Nu in my name of
Khepera in whom I come into being day by day. I am the lord of light, and
that which is an abomination unto me is death; let me not go into the
chamber of torture which is in the Tuat (underworld). I ascribe honor
[unto] Osiris, and I make to be at peace the heart[s] of those beings who
dwell among the divine things which [I] love. They cause the fear of me
[to abound], and they create awe of me in those beings who dwell in their
divine territories. Behold, I am exalted upon my standard, and upon my
seat, and upon the throne which is adjudged [to me]. I am the god Nu, and
the workers of iniquity shall not destroy me. I am the firstborn god of
primeval matter, that is to say, the divine Soul, even the Souls of the
gods of everlastingness, and my body is eternity. My Form is
everlastingness, and is the lord of years and the prince of eternity. [I
am] the creator of the darkness who maketh his habitation in the uttermost
parts of the sky, [which] I love, and I arrive at the confines thereof. I
advance upon my feet, I become master of my vine, I sail over the sky
which formeth the division [betwixt heaven and earth], [I] destroy the
hidden worms that travel nigh unto my footsteps which are toward the lord
of the two hands and arms. My soul is the Souls of the souls of
everlastingness, and my body is eternity. I am the divine exalted being
who is the lord of the land of Tebu. 'I am the Boy in the city and the
Young man in the plain' is my name; 'he that never suffereth corruption'
is my name. I am the Soul, the creator of the god Nu who maketh his
habitation in the underworld: my place of incubation is unseen and my egg
is not cracked. I have done away with all my iniquity, and I shall see my
divine Father, the lord of eventide, whose body dwelleth in Annu. I
travel(?) to the god of night(?), who dwelleth with the god of light, by
the western region of the Ibis (_i.e._, Thoth)."
