Keep falsehood and a lying word[a] far from me;
    do not give me poverty or wealth;
    provide me with food only for my need.
Or else I will be satisfied and will deny him
    and say “Who is Yahweh?”
Or[b] I will be poor and will steal
    and profane the name of my God.

  2. Proverbs 30:9 Or “Lest”

Remove far from me falsehood and lies;
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with [a]the food that is needful for me:
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.
