Ryōshin shiken

O Possessor of Two Horns who came forth from the Asyut, I have not be garrulous about matters.
O Nefertum who came forth from Memphis, I have not done wrong, I have not done evil.
O He-who-does-not-allow-Survivors who came forth from Busiris, I have not disputed the King.
O He-who-Acts-as-he-Wishes who came forth from Antinaiopolis, I have not waded in the water.
O Ihy who came forth from the Primordial Waters, my voice was not loud.
O He-who-Prospers-the-Common-People who came forth from Asyut, I have not cursed a god.

Faulkner, Raymond. The Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Going Forth by Day (Chronicle Books) (Plate 31 - Chapter 125) San Francisco.
I was not properly silent; my word was ill-formed before I let it escape my lips and now the waters of another mind are muddied.  How does one sense the moment to speak?
