Proverbs 30:5-14

5Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

6Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

7Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die):

8Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me;

9Lest I be full and deny You, And say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God.

10Do not malign a servant to his master, Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.

11There is a generation that curses its father, And does not bless its mother.

12There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness.

13There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.

14There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, And whose fangs are like knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.
