Proverbs 30:9

Proverbs 30:9 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

9Otherwise, 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.

9So that I will not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the Lord?”

And that I will not become impoverished and steal,

And profane the name of my God.

9That I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the Lord?”

Or that I not be in want and steal,

And profane the name of my God.

9So that I will not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the Lord?”

Or that I will not be poor and steal,

And so profane the name of my God. [Deut 8:12, 14, 17; Neh 9:25, 26; Job 31:24; Hos 13:6]

9Otherwise, 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.

9If you don’t, I might have too much.

Then I might say I don’t know you.

I might say, ‘Who is the Lord?’

Or I might become poor and steal.

Then I would bring shame to the name of my God.
