and your many incantations,
which you have faithfully recited since your youth!

maybe you will scare away disaster.

Let them take their stand –
the ones who see omens in the sky,
who gaze at the stars,
who make monthly predictions –
let them rescue you from the disaster that is about to overtake you!
