Proverbs 30:1-9

New King James Version

^2 (A)Surely I am more stupid than any man,
And do not have the understanding of a man.
³ I neither learned wisdom
Nor have ^(B)knowledge of the Holy One.

^4 (C)Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
^(D)Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is His Son’s name,
If you know?

^5 (E)Every word of God is ^[a]pure;
^(F)He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
^6 (G)Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

⁷ Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
⁸ Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
^(H)Feed me with the food allotted to me;
^9 (I)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.
