PROVERBS 30:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“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.”
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God—a statement of the temptations associated with both excess and deprivation, establishing that moderate provision preserves both virtue and faith. The theological significance involves the principle of the spiritual danger of both poverty and wealth.
