Proverbs 30:8-9
New Living Translation
8 First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
9 For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?”
And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.
Proverbs 30:8-9
American Standard Version
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies;
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with [a]the food that is needful for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah?
Or lest I be poor, and steal,
And [b]use profanely the name of my God.
