Proverbs 30:9

A Prayer

⁸ Put far from me all false and foolish things: do not give me great wealth or let me be in need, but give me only enough food: ⁹ For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly. ¹⁰ Do not say evil of a servant to his master, or he will put a curse on you, and you will get into trouble.

Holy Name
