Proverbs
Chapters 30:7-13
New International Version Anglicized
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.
11‘There are those who curse their fathersand do not bless their mothers;
12those who are pure in their own eyesand yet are not cleansed of their filth;
13those whose eyes are ever so haughty,whose glances are so disdainful;
