Proverbs 30:9

9. be full . . . deny—that is, puffed up by the pride of prosperity.

take the name . . . vain—This is not (Hebrew) the form (compare Ex 20:7), but "take" rather denotes laying violent hold on any thing; that is, lest I assail God's name or attributes, as justice, mercy, &c., which the poor are tempted to do.
