Proverbes 30:8-9

8 Éloigne de moi la vanité et la parole de mensonge. Ne me donne ni pauvreté ni richesses; nourris-moi du pain de mon ordinaire;

9 De peur que dans l'abondance je ne te renie, et que je ne dise: Qui est l'Éternel? De peur aussi que dans la pauvreté je ne dérobe, et que je ne prenne en vain le nom de mon Dieu.
