Proverbs 30:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ There are two things, Lord,
I want you to do for me
    before I die:
⁸ Make me absolutely honest
and don't let me be too poor
    or too rich.
Give me just what I need.
⁹ If I have too much to eat,
    I might forget about you;
if I don't have enough,
I might steal
    and disgrace your name.
