Proverbs 30:9 in Context — Proverbs 30

7 Je te demande deux choses: Ne me les refuse pas, avant que je meure!

8 Éloigne de moi la fausseté et la parole mensongère; Ne me donne ni pauvreté, ni richesse, Accorde-moi le pain qui m’est nécessaire.

9 De peur que, dans l’abondance, je ne te renie Et ne dise: Qui est l’Éternel? Ou que, dans la pauvreté, je ne dérobe, Et ne m’attaque au nom de mon Dieu.

10 Ne calomnie pas un serviteur auprès de son maître, De peur qu’il ne te maudisse et que tu ne te rendes coupable.

11 Il est une race qui maudit son père, Et qui ne bénit point sa mère.
