5 Every word of God is tried: he is a shield unto them that trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 Two things have I asked of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and use profanely the name of my God.
10 Slander not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
