The rod has recovered, Yea the road has come near. Should you sin against your body, Should you commit evil against yoru body, You should eat moldy bread, Drink fig-juice in oppression, On the heights, in the well-watered valleys, In the shadows, even at the sanctuary. Then, as for the sorcerers, the tormentors, Horanu will drive them out, Even the companions of the 'lads of knowledge' he will drive out for you.
