Proverbs 30:5-14

5Every word of God is purified. He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

6Do not add to His words, or else He will rebuke You and prove you a liar.

7Two things I ask of You— do not refuse me before I die:

8Keep falsehood and lies far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches, but feed me with my allotted bread,

9lest I become satisfied and deny You and say, “Who is Adonai?” Or lest I become poor, and steal and profane the Name of my God.

10Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you pay for it.

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, and yet is not cleansed from its filth.

13There is a generation whose eyes are so haughty, whose eyelids are lifted up disdainfully.

14There is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose molars are knives, to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among humanity.
