7 “Two things I have asked of you;don’t deny me before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies.Give me neither poverty nor riches.Feed me with the food that is needful for me;
9 lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’or lest I be poor, and steal,and so dishonour the name of my God.
10 “Don’t slander a servant to his master,lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.
11 There is a generation that curses their father,and doesn’t bless their mother.
12 There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes,yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes!Their eyelids are lifted up.
