Pro30:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, [even] the prophecy: the man spoke to Ithiel, even to Ithiel and Ucal,
Pro30:2 Surely I [am] more brutish than [any] man, and have not the understanding of a man.
Pro30:3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
Pro30:4 Who hath ascended into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Pro30:5 Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield to them that put their trust in him.
Pro30:6 Add thou not to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Pro30:7 Two [things] have I required of thee; deny [them] not to me before I die:
Pro30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Pro30:9 Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who [is] the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God [in vain].
Pro30:10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
Pro30:11 [There is] a generation [that] curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
Pro30:12 [There is] a generation [that are] pure in their own eyes, and [yet] are not washed from their filthiness.
Pro30:13 [There is] a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
Pro30:14 [There is] a generation, whose teeth [are as] swords, and their jaw-teeth [as] knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from [among] men.
Pro30:15 The horse-leech hath two daughters, [crying], Give, give. There are three [things that] are never satisfied, [yes], four [things] say not, [It is] enough:
Pro30:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth [that] is not filled with water; and the fire [that] saith not, [It is] enough.
Pro30:17 The eye [that] mocketh at [its] father, and despiseth to obey [its] mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
Pro30:18 There are three [things which] are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I know not:
Pro30:19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
Pro30:20 Such [is] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
Pro30:21 For three [things] the earth is disquieted, and for four [which] it cannot bear:
Pro30:22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with food.
Pro30:23 For an odious [woman] when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
Pro30:24 There are four [things which are] little upon the earth, but they [are] very wise:
Pro30:25 The ants [are] a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer;
Pro30:26 The conies [are but] a feeble people, yet they make their houses in the rocks;
Pro30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
Pro30:28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in king's palaces.
Pro30:29 There are three [things] which go well, yes, four are comely in going:
Pro30:30 A lion, [which is] strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
Pro30:31 A greyhound; a he-goat also; and a king, against whom [there is] no rising up.
Pro30:32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, [lay] thy hand upon thy mouth.
Pro30:33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
