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.
14. There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
