Proverbs 30:8

Read in context

Proverbs 30:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

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:

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.

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