Proverbs 30:5-20

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 the food that is needful for me:

⁹Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.

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

¹¹There is a generation that curse their father, And bless not 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 jaw teeth as knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

¹⁵The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, Yea, four that say not, Enough:

¹⁶Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough.

¹⁷The eye that mocketh at his father, And despiseth to obey his mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, And the young eagles shall eat it.

¹⁸There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, four which I know not:

¹⁹The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent upon a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.

²⁰So is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, I have done no wickedness.
