6. Do not add to His words,lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7. Two things I have required of you;do not deny me them before I die:
8. Remove vanity and lies far from me—give me neither poverty nor riches;feed me with food convenient for me;
9. lest I be full, and deny You,and say, “Who is the Lord?”or lest I be poor, and steal,and take the name of my God in vain.
10. Do not accuse a servant to his master,lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11. There is a generation that curses their father,and does not bless its mother.
12. There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,and yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13. There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!And their eyelids are lifted up.
