2
Surely I am more stupid than any man, And do not have the understanding of a man.
3
I neither learned wisdom Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.
4
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a 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 pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6
Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
7
Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die):
8
Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches-- Feed me with the food allotted to me;
9
Lest I be full and deny You, And say, "Who is the Lord?" Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God.
10
Do not malign a servant to his master, Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11
There is a generation that curses its father, And does not bless its mother.
12
There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness.
