Proverbs

⁶Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. ⁷Two things have I asked of thee; Deny me them not 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, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God. ¹⁰Slander not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty. ¹¹There is a generation that curse their father, And bless not their mother. ¹²There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And yet are not washed from their filthiness.
