Proverbs 30:3-11

³I have not learned wisdom, neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.

⁴Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you know?

⁵“Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

⁶Don’t you add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.

⁷“Two things I have asked of you. Don’t deny me before I die.

⁸Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me,

⁹lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

¹⁰“Don’t slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

¹¹There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn’t bless their mother.
