Proverbs 30:5-14

5EveryH3605 1wordH565 of GodH433 is testedH6884; He is a 2shieldH4043 to those who takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him.63Do not addH3254 to His wordsH1697 OrH6435 He will reproveH3198 you, and you will be provedH3576 a liarH3576.

7TwoH8147 thingsH8147 I askedH7592 of You, Do not refuseH4513 me beforeH2962 I dieH4191:8KeepH7368 deceptionH7723 and 4liesH3577 farH7368 from me, GiveH5414 me neitherH408 povertyH7389 norH408 richesH6239; FeedH2963 me with the 5foodH3899 that is my portionH2706,9That I not be 6fullH7646 and denyH3584 7You and sayH559, “WhoH4310 is the LordH3068?” Or that I not be 8in wantH3423 and stealH1589, And 9profaneH8610 the nameH8034 of my GodH430.

10Do not slanderH3960 a slaveH5650 to his masterH113, OrH6435 he will 10curseH7043 you and you will be foundH816 guiltyH816.

11There is a 11kindH1755 of man who 12cursesH7043 his fatherH1 And does not blessH1288 his motherH517.12There is a 13kindH1755 who is 14pureH2889 in his own eyesH5869, Yet is not washedH7364 from his filthinessH6675.13There is a 15kindH1755--oh howH4100 16loftyH7311 are his eyesH5869! And his eyelidsH6079 are raisedH5375 in arrogance.14There is a 17kindH1755 of man whose 18teethH8127 are like swordsH2719 And his 19jawH4973 teethH4973 like knivesH3979, To 20devourH398 the afflictedH6041 from the earthH776 And the needyH34 from among menH120.
