7 Two things I ask from you; do not deny me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and a lying word far from me; do not give me poverty or wealth; provide me with food only for my need.
9 Or else I will be satisfied and will deny him and say “Who is Yahweh?” Or I will be poor and will steal and profane the name of my God.
10 Do not slander a servant to his master, or else he will curse you and you will be guilty.
11 There is a generation that will curse its father, and its mother it will not bless.
12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, but from its filthiness it will not be cleansed.
13 There is a generation—how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids they will lift.
