Proverbs 30:9-14

⁹because if I become rich, I might say that I do not RHQ know you and that I do not need you; and if I become poor, I might dishonor you by stealing things.

¹⁰Do not ◄slander/say bad things about► a worker to his boss; if you do that, the worker will curse you, and cause you to have trouble.

¹¹I will list four kinds of evil things that people do: Some people curse their fathers and do not ask God to bless their mothers.

¹²Some people think that they are perfect, but really they have never been cleansed from their guilt for committing disgusting sins.

¹³Some people are very proud; they think that they are very good and they despise others.

¹⁴Some people act very cruelly toward others; it is as though MET they have teeth that are like sharp knives; they severely oppress poor people and try to cause them to disappear from the land.
