דכירין לטב יוסה ועזרין וחזיקין בנוה דחלפי כל מן דיהיב פלגו בן גבר לחבריה הי אמר לשן ביש על חבריה לעממיה הי גניב צבותיה דהבריה הי מן דגלי רזה דקרתה לעממיה דין דעינוה משוטטן בכל ארעה וחמי סתירתה הוא יתן אפוה בגברה ההו ובזרעיה ויעקור יתיה מן תחות שומיה וימרון כל עמה אמן ואמן סלה

Translation

Remembered for good Yose, 'Ezrin and Heziqin, sons of Halifi. All who cause division among his fellow men or speak libel concerning his fellow to the gentiles or steal from his fellow's posession, or who reveals the secret of the town to the gentiles - the One whose eyes gaze upon all the land and sees what is hidden, He will set his face on that mand and his offspring and He will eradicate him from under the Heavens. And all of the people said, Amen and Amen, selah.
