Proverbs 30:8

A Prayer

⁷ Two things I require of thee, that thou will not deny me before I die. ⁸ Remove from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches, only grant me a necessary living. ⁹ Lest I be so full, I deny thee, and say, "What fellow is the LORD?" And lest I, being constrained through poverty, fall unto stealing and foreswear the name of my God.
