and raising accusation against you {and against the activity of your } sonsthe corruption which you have committed on it {…}
has reached Raphael. Behold, destruction {will come upon all who are in the heavens and who are on the earth}
and who are in the deserts and {who} are in the seas. And the interpretation of {this} matter {will become …}
evil upon you. So now, set loose what you hold captive {…}
and pray.
