Proverbs 30:8-9
New King James Version
8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
(A)Feed me with the food allotted to me;
9 (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.

give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me:

or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
