He must give up all the property of his house.

Two things I have asked of You;
Do not refuse me before I die:
Keep deception and [a]lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the (A)food that is my portion,
So that I will not be (B)full and deny (C)You and say, “Who is the Lord?”
And that I will not become (D)impoverished and steal,
And (E)profane the name of my God.

  1. Proverbs 30:8 Lit words of falsehood

Two things have I asked of thee;
Deny me them not before I die:
Remove far from me falsehood and lies;
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with [a]the food that is needful for me:
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.
