Proverbs 30:9
Douay-Rheims
Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
Rashi
lest I become sated from wealth.
and deny the existence of the Holy One, blessed be He, out of my extreme haughtiness. Now what is the denial? And I say, “Who is the Lord?” Meaning, there is no God.
and take hold of the name of my God to become accustomed to swearing by it falsely.
