XCVIII.

469 Listen not to the answers (conversation) of the Governor in his own house,

470 Thou then repeating what he said to thee outside in the town.

471 Even when thou hast brought thy mouth outside (his house),

472 Do not empty out into the street what is in thy breast.

473 Since the heart (mind) of a man is [known to] GOD

474 Take good heed that thou dost not cause it sorrow.

475 The man (to whom thou speakest) may be a powerful official,

476 (He may also be) a private person whose name is quite unknown.
