Proverbs 30:8 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

And then he prayed, “God, I’m asking for two things before I die; don’t refuse me— Banish lies from my lips and liars from my presence. Give me enough food to live on, neither too much nor too little. If I’m too full, I might get independent, saying, ‘God? Who needs him?’ If I’m poor, I might steal and dishonor the name of my God.” * * *

Remove far from me vanity and lies: Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with food convenient for me

Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion

Keep me from lying and being dishonest. And don’t make me either rich or poor; just give me enough food for each day.

Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me

Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.

Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me

Keep deception and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion

First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.

Empty out of my heart everything that is false— every lie, and every crooked thing. And give me neither undue poverty nor undue wealth— but rather, feed my soul with the measure of prosperity that pleases you.

Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me
