Proverbs 30:7

⁵ Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

⁶ Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.

Two things I ask of You— do not refuse me before I die:

⁸ Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.

⁹ Otherwise, I may have too much and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, profaning the name of my God.
