Proverbs 30:9

A Prayer

⁸
Keep deception and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the food that is my portion,
⁹ 
So that I will not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or that I will not be poor and steal,
And so profane the name of my God. ¹⁰
Do not slander or malign a servant before his master [stay out of another’s personal life],
Or he will curse you [for your interference], and you will be found guilty.

Holy Name

Name of God

Profane the Name

Jehovah
