Proverbs 30:7-9
Modern English Version
7 Two things I have required of you;
do not deny me them before I die:
8 Remove vanity and lies far from me—
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me;
9 lest I be full, and deny You,
and say, “Who is the Lord?”
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and take the name of my God in vain.
Proverbs 30:7-9

7 Two things have I asked of thee;
Deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies;
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with [a]the food that is needful for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah?
Or lest I be poor, and steal,
And [b]use profanely the name of my God.
