Proverbs
Chapters 30:4-10
New International Version Anglicized
4Who has gone up to heaven and come down?Whose hands have gathered up the wind?Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak?Who has established all the ends of the earth?What is his name, and what is the name of his son?Surely you know!
5‘Every word of God is flawless;he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6Do not add to his words,or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
7‘Two things I ask of you, Lord;do not refuse me before I die:
8keep falsehood and lies far from me;give me neither poverty nor riches,but give me only my daily bread.
9Otherwise, I may have too much and disown youand say, “Who is the Lord?”Or I may become poor and steal,and so dishonour the name of my God.
10‘Do not slander a servant to their master,or they will curse you, and you will pay for it.
