Proverbs 30:6-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. Do not add to his words,lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.

7. Two things I ask of you;deny them not to me before I die:

8. Remove far from me falsehood and lying;give me neither poverty nor riches;feed me with the food that is needful for me,

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

10. Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

11. There are those who curse their fathersand do not bless their mothers.
