Mishle 30:4-13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. Who hath ascended into Shomayim, or descended? Who hath gathered ruach in the hollows of His hands? Who hath bound the mayim in a cloak? Who hath established all the afsei aretz (ends of the earth)? What is Shmo (His Name), and what is Shem Bno (the Name of His Son [See Memra, creative Word of G-d in Targumim]), if thou canst tell?

5. Every word of G-d is flawless; He is a mogen unto them that take refuge in Him.

6. Add thou not unto His devarim, lest He rebuke thee, and thou be found a kazav (liar).

7. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before my mot;

8. Remove far from me shav (vanity, falsehood) and davar kazav (word of a liar); give me neither poverty nor osher; feed me lechem chukki (my daily bread);

9. Lest I be full, and deny Thee, and say, Who is Hashem? Or lest I be poor, and become a ganav, and profane the Shem of Elohai.

10. Do not slander an eved unto his adon, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

11. There is a dor (generation) that curseth its av, and doth not make a bracha on its em.

12. There is a dor (generation) that is tahor (pure) in its own eynayim, and yet is not washed from its filthiness.

13. There is a dor (generation), O how haughty in loftiness are their eynayim! And their eyelids are proudly lifted up.
