1 Say, `I seek refuge in the Lord of the day break, and the plain appearing and emergence of truth.

3 `And from the evil (that usually prevails in the times) of darkness when it overspreads (at night),
4 `And from the evil of those who blow on knots,
5 `And from the evil of the envier when he envies.'
