Proverbs 30:6-14

⁶Do not add aught unto his words: lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

⁷Two things do I request of thee: deny them not to me before I die.

⁸Vanity and lying words do thou remove far from me: neither poverty nor riches give thou unto me; let me eat the bread appointed unto me:

⁹Lest I become over-full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I become poor, and steal, and trespass against the name of my God.

¹⁰Do not calumniate a servant unto his master: lest he curse thee, and thou incur guilt.

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

¹²There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, and yet is not washed clean of its filthiness.

¹³There is a generation—O how lofty are its eyes! and its eyelids are so lifted up.

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