5 “Every word of God is flawless.He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Don’t you add to his words,lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
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 dishonor 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.
