7God, I want to request two things from you. Please don't refuse to let me have them before I come to die.
8Keep me from being false, help me not to tell lies. Don't make me poor or rich; just provide me with the food I need.
9Otherwise if I have plenty of money, I may give up on you, saying, “Who is the Lord?” while if I'm poor I may steal and bring the name of my God into disrepute.
10Don't slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you and you'll suffer for it.
11There are some who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
12There are some who see themselves as pure but they're still filthy—they have not been washed.
13There are some who think themselves so high and mighty, and who look down on others.
14There are some who have teeth like swords, incisors like knives, ready to devour the poor from the earth, the needy from society.
15The leech has two daughters who cry out, “Give me! Give me!” There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, “Enough!”:
16The grave, the womb that doesn't become pregnant, the earth thirsty for water, and the fire that never says, “Enough!”
17People who ridicule their fathers and despise obedience to the mother will have their eyes pecked out by wild ravens and eaten by young vultures.
