Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 30 of Proverbs. Agur offers a brief and deeply balanced prayer: he asks God to keep falsehood and lies far from him and to give him neither poverty nor riches. The goal is to receive the necessary food so that he will neither deny God from abundance nor steal from need. He then condemns generations that despise their parents, consider themselves pure, and consume the poor. Material and moral humility appear as one virtue.

Verleumde den Knecht nicht bei seinem Herrn, daß er dir nicht fluche und du die Schuld tragen müssest.
No acuses al siervo ante su señor, Porque no te maldiga, y peques.
Ne calomnie pas un serviteur auprès de son maître, De peur qu'il ne te maudisse et que tu ne te rendes coupable.
Non dir male del servo appo il suo padrone; Che talora egli non ti maledica, e tu ti renda colpevole.
Não acuses o servo diante de seu senhor, para que não te amaldiçoe e tu fiques o culpado.
不要向主人讒害他的僕人, 恐怕他詛咒你,你便算為有罪。
