For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.
The most beautiful of all the angels, yet the Father of Lies, clothed in flattery and alluring garb, yet foul and evil within; cast him and all his minions away from me. Let them bear the fruit of their guilt; protect me from tainting and pollution; direct me in Your path.
