Proverbs 30:7-16

⁷Two things I ask of you; take not favor from me before I die.

⁸Remove far from me vanity and falsehood: and give me not wealth or poverty; but appoint me what is needful and sufficient:

⁹lest I be filled and become false, and say, Who sees me? or be poor and steal, and swear vainly by the name of God.

¹⁰Deliver not a servant into the hands of his master, lest he curse you, and you be utterly destroyed.

¹¹A wicked generation curse their father, and do not bless their mother.

¹²A wicked generation judge themselves to be just, but do not cleanse their way.

¹³A wicked generation have lofty eyes, and exalt themselves with their eyelids.

¹⁴A wicked generation have swords for teeth and jaw teeth as knives, so as to destroy and devour the lowly from the earth, and the poor of them from among men.

¹⁵The horse-leech had three dearly beloved daughters: and these three did not satisfy her; and the fourth was not contented so as to say, Enough.

¹⁶The grave, and the love of a woman, and the earth not filled with water; water also and fire will not say, It is enough.
