O Youth who came forth from the Double Scepter Nome, I have not been neglectful of truthful words.I talked a lot today out of my own opinion. How can I find the right balance between contributing my voice, and respecting the voice of the other(s)?
O Dark One who came forth from darkness, I have not cursed.
O He-who-Brings-his-Offering who comes forth from Asyut, I have not been violent.
O Proclaimer of Voice who came forth from Wenis, I have not confounded truth.
O Possessor of Faces who came forth from Dedjefet, I have not been impatient.
O Captain who came forth from Weten, I have not discussed.
