Proverbs 30:8
Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me;
In context
6Don’t you add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7“Two things I have asked of you; don’t deny me before I die:
8Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me;
9lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
10“Don’t slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.
