Proverbs 30:5-14

⁵Every word of God is tried; He is a shield unto them that take refuge in Him.

⁶Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

⁷Two things have I asked of Thee; deny me them not before I die:

⁸Remove far from me falsehood and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with mine allotted bread;

⁹Lest I be full, and deny, and say: 'Who is the LORD?' Or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God.

¹⁰Slander not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

¹¹There is a generation that curse their father, and do not bless their mother.

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

¹³There is a generation, Oh how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

¹⁴There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their great teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
