Proverbs 30:5-9
New International Version
5 “Every word of God is flawless;(A)
he is a shield(B) to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add(C) to his words,
or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.(D)
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown(E) you
and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’(F)
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.(G)

Proverbs 30:5-9
King James Version
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their 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 required 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 food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
