Proverbs 30:8–9

Keep falsehood and lies far from me;

give me neither poverty nor riches,

but give me only my daily bread.

Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you

and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’

Or I may become poor and steal,

and so dishonor the name of my God.

Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me.

Give me neither poverty nor wealth;

feed me with the food I need.

Otherwise, I might have too much

and deny you, saying, “Who is the Lord?”

or I might have nothing and steal,

profaning the name of my God.

First, help me never to tell a lie.

Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!

Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.

For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?”

And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.

Keep falsehood and a lying word far from me;

do not give me poverty or wealth;

provide me with food only for my need.

Or else I will be satisfied and will deny him

and say “Who is Yahweh?”

Or I will be poor and will steal

and profane the name of my God.

Remove far from me vanity and lies:

Give me neither poverty nor riches;

Feed me with food convenient for me:

Lest I be full, and deny thee,

And say, Who is the Lord?

Or lest I be poor, and steal,

And take the name of my God in vain.
