2. For I am more stupid than anyone, And do not have the understanding of a man.
3. And I have not learned wisdom That I should know the knowledge of the Set-apart One.
4. Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name, And what is His Son’s Name, If you know it?
5. Every Word of Eloah is tried; He is a shield to those taking refuge in Him.
6. Do not add to His Words, Lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7. Two matters I have asked of You – Deny them not to me before I die:
8. Remove falsehood and a lying word far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me my portion of bread;
9. Lest I become satisfied and deny You, And say, “Who is יהוה?” And lest I be poor, and steal, And seize the Name of my Elohim.
10. Do not slander 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, clean in its own eyes, But not washed from its own filth.
13. There is a generation; Oh, how haughty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
14. There is a generation whose teeth are swords, And whose jaw-teeth are knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.
