to combat different demons, diseases, and fatal influences, such as the evil eye

The plague and the fever which scourge a country,

the disease which devastates a country,

bad for the flesh, fatal for the entrails,

the wicked demon, the wicked Alal, the wicked Gigim,

the malevolent man, the malevolent eye, the malevolent mouth, the malevolent tongue

—of the man, son of his god, may they depart from his body, may they depart from his entrails.

They shall never take possession of my body,

they shall never do any evil in my presence, they shall never walk in my train,

they shall never enter my house,

they shall never step over my timbers,

they shall never enter into the habitation of my house.
