Every word of God is pure:
he is a shield unto them
that put their trust in him.

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

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.

Proverbs 2:5, 8, 9
