7. Two things I asked of You, Do not refuse me before I die:
8. Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion,
9. That I not be full and deny You and say, "Who is the Lord?" Or that I not be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God.
10. Do not slander a slave to his master, Or he will curse you and you will be found guilty.
11. There is a kind of man who curses his father And does not bless his mother.
12. There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness.
13. There is a kind-oh how lofty are his eyes! And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.
