Proverbs 30:8
Remove far from me vanity and lies: Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with food convenient for me:
In context
5 Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 Two things have I required of thee; Deny me them not 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 unto 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.
