Proverbs 30:7

5 ^aEvery word of God is¹ pure;
^bHe is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

6 ^aDo not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

7 Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):

8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
^aFeed me with the food allotted to me;

9 ^aLest I be full and deny You,
And say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

10 Do not malign a servant to his master,
Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.

11 There is a generation that curses its ^afather,
And does not bless its mother.
