Proverbs 30:7-13

⁷“Two things I have asked of you. Don’t deny me 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, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

¹⁰“Don’t slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

¹¹There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn’t bless their mother.

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

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