First Reading for Wednesday of the 25th Week in Ordinary Time II

Proverbs 30:5-9

Summary: I ask for truth and enough daily needs so I avoid dishonesty and disrespecting God.

Two Requests for Truth and Balance

Every word of God is tested; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Add nothing to his words, lest he reprove you, and you will be exposed as a deceiver.

Two things I ask of you, deny them not to me before I die: Put falsehood and lying far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; provide me only with the food I need; Lest, being full, I deny you, saying, “Who is the LORD?” Or, being in want, I steal, and profane the name of my God.
