Proverbs 30:7-15

⁷Two things do I ask of thee; Withhold them not from me, before I die!

⁸Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food which is needful for me;

⁹Lest I be full, and deny thee, And say, “Who is the LORD?” Or lest I be poor, and steal, And violate the name of my God.

¹⁰Talk not against a servant to his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou suffer for it.

¹¹There is a class of men that curse their fathers, And do not bless their mothers.

¹²There is a class who are pure in their own eyes, And yet are not washed from their filthiness.

¹³There is a class,—O how lofty are their eyes, And how are their eyelids lifted up!

¹⁴There is a class, whose teeth are swords, And their jaw-teeth knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.

¹⁵The vampire hath two daughters; “Give! give!” is their cry. There are three things which are never satisfied; Yea, four which say not, “Enough!”
