5. Every word of God is pure;He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6. Do not add to His words,Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
7. Two things I request of You(Deprive me not before I die):
8. Remove falsehood and lies far from me;Give me neither poverty nor riches—Feed me with the food allotted to me;
9. Lest I be full and deny You,And say, “Who is the Lord?”Or lest I be poor and steal,And profane the name of my God.
10. Do not malign a servant to his master,Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11. There is a generation that curses its father,And does not bless its mother.
12. There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,Yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13. There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!And their eyelids are lifted up.
14. There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,And whose fangs are like knives,To devour the poor from off the earth,And the needy from among men.
