Proverbs

⁸Remove far from me vanity 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 the LORD? 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 curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. ¹²There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes; and yet are not washed from their filthiness. ¹³There is a generation, Oh how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. ¹⁴There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
