Proverbs 30:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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.
In context
7 Two things I ask of You— do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.
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.
10 Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will bear the guilt.
11 There is a generation of those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
