Proverbs 30:5-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. All God’s words are tried and true;a shield for those who take refuge in him.

6. Don’t add to his words,or he will correct you and show you to be a liar.

7. Two things I ask of you;don’t keep them from me before I die:

8. Fraud and lies—keep far from me!Don’t give me either poverty or wealth;give me just the food I need.

9. Or I’ll be full and deny you,and say, "Who is the Lord?"Or I’ll be poor and steal,and dishonor my God’s name.

10. Don’t slander a servant to his master;otherwise, the servant will curse you, and you will be guilty.

11. There are those who curse their fatherand don’t bless their mother.
