7. Two things I ask from you;do not refuse me before I die:
8. Remove falsehood and lies far from me;do not give me poverty or riches,feed me with my allotted portion of bread,
9. lest I become satisfied and act deceptivelyand say, “Who is the Lord?”Or lest I become poor and stealand demean the name of my God.
10. Do not slander a servant to his master,lest he curse you, and you are found guilty.
11. There is a generation who curse their fathersand do not bless their mothers.
12. There is a generation who are pure in their own eyesand yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13. There is a generation whose eyes are so lofty,and whose eyelids are lifted up disdainfully.
14. There is a generation whose teeth are like swordsand whose molars are like knivesto devour the poor from the earthand the needy from among the human race.
