Proverbs 30:8

A Prayer

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