4
Who hath ascended into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?
5
Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield to them that put their trust in him.
6
Add thou not to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7
Two [things] have I required of thee; deny [them] not to me before I die:
8
Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9
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].
10
Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found 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, and [yet] are not washed from their filthiness.
13
[There is] a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14
[There is] a generation, whose teeth [are as] swords, and their jaw-teeth [as] knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from [among] men.
