   In Proverbs 30:8, the Hiphil imperative occurs in a request for neither poverty nor riches; the APB renders the request, “feed me with the food allotted to me.”

   Proverbs 30:8

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited contexts, the APB commonly uses “tear,” “tearing prey,” and “torn to pieces”; in Proverbs 30:8 it uses “feed me.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings show the clauses' presentation rather than fixed one-to-one equivalents.
