Tosefta for Proverbs 30:6
אַל־תּ֥וֹסְףְּ עַל־דְּבָרָ֑יו פֶּן־יוֹכִ֖יחַ בְּךָ֣ וְנִכְזָֽבְתָּ׃ (פ)
Add thou not unto His words, Lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Tosefta Yadayim
Rabbi Shimon ben Mensya says: "Song of Songs defiles the hands, because it is written with divine spirit. And Qoheleth does not defile the hadns for it is only written through the wisdom of Solomon." They said to him, "But did he write that by himself? Look, it says (I Kings 5:12) 'And he said three thousand proverbs,' and it say (Proverbs 30:6) 'Do not add to His words!'"
