Proverbs 30:4-15

⁴Who hath gone up into heaven and come down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound up the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what his son's name, if thou knowest?

⁵Every word of God is pure; A shield is he to them that put their trust in him.

⁶Add not to his words, Lest he rebuke thee, and thou be found a liar.

⁷Two things do I ask of thee; Withhold them not from me, before I die!

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

⁹Lest I be full, and deny thee, And say, “Who is the LORD?” Or lest I be poor, and steal, And violate the name of my God.

¹⁰Talk not against a servant to his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou suffer for it.

¹¹There is a class of men that curse their fathers, And do not bless their mothers.

¹²There is a class who are pure in their own eyes, And yet are not washed from their filthiness.

¹³There is a class,—O how lofty are their eyes, And how are their eyelids lifted up!

¹⁴There is a class, whose teeth are swords, And their jaw-teeth knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.

¹⁵The vampire hath two daughters; “Give! give!” is their cry. There are three things which are never satisfied; Yea, four which say not, “Enough!”
