Proverbs 30:9
Otherwise, I may have too much and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, profaning the name of my God.
Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
Note deny…: Heb. belie thee
lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.
