6
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7
Two things do I ask of thee; deny me [them] not before I die:
8
Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread of my daily need:
9
lest I be full and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor and steal, and outrage the name of my God.
10
Speak not too much about a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
11
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother;
12
there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness;
13
there is a generation, -- how lofty are their eyes, how their eyelids are lifted up!
14
-- a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jaw-teeth knives, to devour the afflicted from off the earth, and the needy from [among] men.
15
The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three [things] never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough:
16
-- Sheol, and the barren womb; the earth which is not filled with water, and the fire which saith not, It is enough.
