4. Who has ascended up 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 can tell?
5. Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6. Add not unto his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7. Two things have I required of you; deny me not them before I die:
8. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food needful 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. Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11. There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
12. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
