Mishle 30:5-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

14. There is a dor (generation), whose teeth are as charavot (swords), and their jaw teeth are as knives, to devour the aniyim (oppressed poor ones) from off ha'aretz, and the evyonim (needy ones) from among adam.

15. The leech hath two banot: Give! Give! There are shalosh (three) that are never satisfied, indeed, four things never say, Enough!
