5 “Every word of God can be trusted.He protects those who come to him for safety.
6 Do not add to his words.If you do, he will correct you and prove that you are a liar.
7 “I ask two things from you, Lord.Don’t refuse me before I die.
8 Keep me from lying and being dishonest.And don’t make me either rich or poor.Just give me enough food for each day.
9 If I have too much, I might reject you.I might say, ‘I don’t know the Lord.’If I am poor, I might steal.Then I would disgrace the name of my God.
10 “Do not say bad things about a servant to his master.If you do, he will curse you, and you will suffer for it.
11 “Some people curse their fathers.And they do not bless their mothers.
