Proverbs 30:7 in context
Proverbs 30:4–10
4
Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has bound the waters in his garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you know?
5
“Every word of God is flawless.
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6
Don’t you add to his words,
lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7
Selected verse
“Two things I have asked of you.
Don’t deny me before I die.
8
Remove far from me falsehood and lies.
Give me neither poverty nor riches.
Feed me with the food that is needful for me,
9
lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’
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.
