Transliterated Text:

hujyâtôish ameretâtascâ

Translated Text:
Thus you have deprived mankind
of good life and immortality.
But in fact, you, who are but deceptive gods,
have deceived yourselves
with your evil mentality, deed, and speech
by providing the wrongful with power.
Commentary:
Belief in false gods has misguided human beings not to lead a good life and therefore not to attain immortality. But this very action is self-defeating because when these beliefs are translated into evil thoughts, words, and deeds, the result is chaos caused by the wrong persons in power.
Pondering Point:
“False beliefs bring chaos.”
