Proverbs 30:5-14

5EveryH3605 1wordH565 of GodH433 is 2pureH6884; He is a 3shieldH4043 to those who takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him.64Do not addH3254 to His wordsH1697 OrH6435 He will rebukeH3198 you, and you will be provedH3576 aH3576 liarH3576.

7TwoH8147 thingsH8147 I have askedH7592 of You; Do not refuseH4513 me beforeH2962 I dieH4191:8KeepH7368 deceptionH7723 and 5liesH3577 farH7368 from me, GiveH5414 me neitherH408 povertyH7389 norH408 richesH6239; FeedH2963 me with the 6foodH3899 that is my portionH2706,9SoH6435 thatH6435 I will notH6435 beH7646 7fullH7646 and denyH3584 8You and sayH559, “WhoH4310 is the LordH3068?” And thatH6435 I will notH6435 becomeH3423 9impoverishedH3423 and stealH1589, And 10profaneH8610 the nameH8034 of my GodH430.

10Do not slanderH3960 a slaveH5650 to his masterH113, OrH6435 he will 11curseH7043 you and you will be foundH816 guiltyH816.

11There is a 12kindH1755 of person who 13cursesH7043 his fatherH1 And does not blessH1288 his motherH517.12There is a 14kindH1755 who is 15pureH2889 in his own eyesH5869, Yet is not washedH7364 from his filthinessH6675.13There is a 16kindH1755--oh howH4100 17loftyH7311 areH7311 his eyesH5869! And his eyelidsH6079 are raisedH5375 in arrogance.14There is a 18kindH1755 of person whose 19teethH8127 are like swordsH2719 And his 20jawH4973 teethH4973 like knivesH3979, To 21devourH398 the poorH6041 from the earthH776 And the needyH34 from among mankindH120.
