“Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:”
King James Version (KJV)
30:5 Pure - You must not expect the full knowledge of Divine mysteries from me, nor from any man, but from the word of God.
30:8 Vanity - All vanity of heart and life; a vain conversation, or a love of the vain things of this world. Lies - All falsehood and deceit in my words and carriage. Convenient - Moderate and suitable both to my natural necessities, and to that condition of life in which thou hast put me.
30:9 Deny thee - By trusting to riches, which is a denial of God, and by unthankfulness for, and abuse of his mercies. Who is the Lord - That I should serve him. Lest I take - Use false oaths either to vindicate myself when I am suspected, or to gratify others, as poor men frequently do.
Two things haue I required of thee, deny me them not before I die.
