Proverbs 30:3-13

³I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.

⁴Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?

⁵Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.

⁶Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:

⁷Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.

⁸Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:

⁹Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.

¹⁰Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.

¹¹There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

¹²A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.

¹³A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
