Kheftin Asar Butbiu
 Enemies of Osiris Who Are To Be Burned
 Let There Be Fetters on Your Arms
 Let There Be Shackles on Your Necks
 Let There Be Chains Upon You
 Ye Shall Be Hacked to Pieces For
 What Ye Have Done To Osiris
 You Have Put His Mysteries Behind Your Backs
 You Hath Dragged the Statue of the God
 From The Secret Place
 ♪
 You Hath Desecrated The Hidden Things of the
 Great One
 You Are Doomed To Stand And Receive in
 Your Faces
 The Fire Which Serpent Khetti Is About To
 Spit At You
 ♪
 Khetti
 Great Serpent Who Lieth In Undulations
 Before the Damned
 Khetti
 Open Thy Mouth Distend Thy Jaws
 Belch Forth Thy Flames Against My
 Fathers Enemies
 Burn Up Their Bodies
 Consume their Souls
 By the Fire Which Issueth From Thy Mouth
 And By The Flames Which Art In Thy Body
 The Fire Which Is in the Serpent Khetti
 Shall Come Forth
 And Blaze Against The Enemies of Osiris
 Whosoever Knoweth How to Use
 These Words of Power
 Against the Serpent Shall Be As One
 Who Doth Not Enter Upon His Fiery Path
 [In the Book of Gates, another text describing the Egyptian underworld, within the Eighth Division of Night is the Gate of Set-Hra. The scenes depicted in this chapter describe some of the tortures which are inflicted upon the original enemies of Osiris. It is impossible for Osiris to slay all of his enemies at once, even though they are in his power. While various batches of them are awaiting their turn at the Block of Slaughter, they are kept tightly fettered and bound. One of the forms of the torture depicted described the "Kheftin Asar Butchiu," i.e., the enemies of Osiris who are to be burned. Their arms are tied behind their backs in positions which cause intense pain, and they are doomed to stand and receive in their faces the fire which the serpent Khetti is about to spit at them, and then be hacked to pieaces and burnt. Horus commands the serpent Khetti, saying "Open thy mouth! Distend thy jaws and belch forth thy flames against my father's enemies! Consume their souls by the fire which issueth from thy mouth and by the flames which art in thy body."]
