Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
(A)Feed me with the food allotted to me;
(B)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.

Caution Against Disobedience

10 “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He [a]swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities (A)which you did not build, 11 houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—(B)when you have eaten and are full— 12 then beware, lest you forget the (C)Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 13 You shall (D)fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and (E)shall take oaths in His name. 14 You shall not go after other gods, (F)the gods of the peoples who are all around you 15 (for (G)the Lord your God is a jealous God (H)among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth.
