Proverbs 30:5-9

1. 5

   Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.

2. 6

   Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:

3. 7

   Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.

4. 8

   Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:

5. 9

   Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
