The Lord's Prayer: O Lord, Lord God, Creator of All Things

When our fathers were being led captive to Persia, the pious priests of that time took some of the fire of the altar and secretly hid it in the hollow of a dry cistern. After many years had passed, when it pleased God, Niamaya sent the descendants of the priests who had hidden the fire to get it. When they reported to us that they had not found fire but thick liquid, he ordered them to dip it out and bring it. But by most people, it is called naphtha. The Book of Sirach, Chapter 40: Human wretchedness and joys of life. All bribery and injustice will be blotted out, but good faith will stand forever.
