Proverbs 30:5-13

⁵For all the words of God are tried in the fire, and he defends those that reverence him.

⁶Add not to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be made a liar.

⁷Two things I ask of you; take not favour from me before I die.

⁸Remove far from me vanity and falsehood: and give me not wealth or poverty; but appoint me what is needful and sufficient:

⁹lest I be filled and become false, and say, Who sees me? or be poor and steal, and swear vainly by the name of God.

¹⁰Deliver not a servant into the hands of his master, lest he curse you, and you be utterly destroyed.

¹¹A wicked generation curse their father, and do not bless their mother.

¹²A wicked generation judge themselves to be just, but do not cleanse their way.

¹³A wicked generation have lofty eyes, and exalt themselves with their eyelids.
