Proverbs 30:8-9
New American Standard Bible
8 Keep deception and [a]lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the (A)food that is my portion,
9 So that I will not be (B)full and deny (C)You and say, “Who is the Lord?”
And that I will not become (D)impoverished and steal,
And (E)profane the name of my God.
