Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Proverbs 30
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.
¹³ There is a generation--oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
¹⁴ There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, And whose fangs are like knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.
