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 I ask of you;
    don’t keep them from me before I die:
Fraud and lies—
    keep far from me!
Don’t give me either poverty or wealth;
    give me just the food I need.
    Or I’ll be full and deny you,
    and say, “Who is the Lord?”
    Or I’ll be poor and steal,
    and dishonor my God’s name.
