Revised Literal Translation

Proverbs 30:5-14

5Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.1

6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

7Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:2

8Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:3

9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Yhwh? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.4

10Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.5

11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

13There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
