Proverbs 30:5-14

5“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

6Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

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 you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor 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 fathers and do not bless their mothers;

12those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth;

13those whose eyes are ever so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful;

14those whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are set with knives to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among mankind.
