  1. Proverbs 28:25 Literally “wide soul”

Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
(A)Feed me with the food allotted to me;
(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.

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.
