3. And I have not learned wisdom, neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One.
4. Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in his garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?
5. Every word of God is tried: he is a shield unto them that trust in him.
6. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7. Two things have I asked of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me:
9. Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and use profanely the name of my God.
10. Slander not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
11. There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes; and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13. There is a generation, Oh how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
