Answer: Teiresias's prophecy makes me nervous. I don't know if he is right or wrong.

The chorus expresses fear (dread) and doubt about Teiresias's prophecy (the wise interpreter of prophecies), which states that Oedipus is the murderer they are looking for. The chorus cannot believe this, as they have no reason to believe he ever committed a crime. Therefore, they cannot say whether Teiresias is right or not (I cannot approve of what he said and I cannot deny it).
