Proverbs 30:8-9
Lexham English Bible
8 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.
9 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.
