5 Every word of God is purified;he is like a shield for those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words,lest he reprove you, and prove you to be a liar.
7 Two things I ask from you;do not refuse me before I die:
8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me;do not give me poverty or riches,feed me with my allotted portion of bread,
9 lest I become satisfied and act deceptivelyand say, “Who is the Lord?”Or lest I become poor and stealand demean the name of my God.
10 Do not slander a servant to his master,lest he curse you, and you are found guilty.
11 There is a generation who curse their fathersand do not bless their mothers.
