XCIII.

445 Make no attempt to shut the mouth of (to make dumb) the man who is holding converse with thee;

446 Do thou tell him that he must declare (what is in his) heart.

447 Make no flight (attempt) to enter (into the conversation) against him (to anticipate his remarks)

448 (When) thou dost not see what he is doing (the point which he is making).

449 Make thyself to understand beforehand what the answer to him must be.

450 (If) thou art heated (losest thy temper) thy end comes.

451 Let the matter rest upon him, he will empty his belly.

452 Knowing his character (view) he can be found out,

453 His feet (legs) being removed he cannot work his iniquity,

454 Being afraid he will not act underhandedly,

455 For, most assuredly, thou knowest not the plans of GOD.

456 Bring not to an end (waste not) in slumber the early hours of the day (the dawn).

457 Seat thou thyself [in the keeping] of GOD.

458 To thy silence (silent meditation) (add) prostrations on the ground.
