1Agur's Prayer was Divine: Two things have I desired of thee, deny me them not before I dye.
8. Remove from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches, feed me with food convenient for me.
9. Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I ⟨p. 43⟩be poor, and steal, and take the Name of my God in vain.
