Proverbs 30:8

ContentmentMoney and wealthPrayerTruth and honesty

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

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

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.

10 Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will bear the guilt.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
