4 Who has ever mastered heavenly knowledge?Who has ever caught the wind in his hand?Or wrapped up water in a piece of cloth?Or fixed the boundaries of the earth?Who is he, if you know? Who is his son?
5 “God keeps every promise he makes. He is like a shield for all who seek his protection.
6 If you claim that he said something that he never said, he will reprimand you and show that you are a liar.”
7 I ask you, God, to let me have two things before I die:
8 keep me from lying, and let me be neither rich nor poor. So give me only as much food as I need.
9 If I have more, I might say that I do not need you. But if I am poor, I might steal and bring disgrace on my God.
10 Never criticize servants to their master. You will be cursed and suffer for it.
