Commentary
I ask You not to request from me in the future what I have no knowledge of its correctness, out of respect for Your etiquette and as a lesson from Your admonition. And if You do not forgive me for what I have neglected of that, and have mercy on me with repentance, I will be among the losers in deeds.
