Proverbs 30:8-9
World English Bible
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies.
Give me neither poverty nor riches.
Feed me with the food that is needful for me,
9 lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.

Give me neither poverty nor riches—
(A)Feed me with the food allotted to me;

And say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.
