Proverbs 30:5-9

English Standard Version

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

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