Proverbs 30:5-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ Every word of God proves true;
    he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.^(A)
6 Do not add to his words,
    lest he rebuke you, and you be found a liar.^(B)

⁷ Two things I ask of you;
    do not deny them to me before I die:
⁸ Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
    give me neither poverty nor riches;
    feed me with the food that I need,^(C)
9 lest I be full and deny you
    and say, “Who is the Lord?”
or I be poor and steal
    and profane the name of my God.^(D)
