7 "Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die:
7 Two things have I required of thee; deny
7 Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die:
7 And then he prayed, "God, I'm asking for two things before I die; don't refuse me -
7 Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die):
7 O God, I beg two favors from you; let me have them before I die.

Commentary on Proverbs 30:7-14
