Proverbs 30:7-9
New International Version
7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.(A)
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown(B) you
and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’(C)
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.(D)

7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
