Proverbs 30:8

A Prayer

⁷ I require two things from you. Do not deprive me of them before I die. ⁸ Keep deception and lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the food that is my portion,
⁹ If I am full I could deny you and say, Who is Jehovah? Or if I am poor and steal, I could take God's name in vain.
