(Pro 30:1) The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, {even} the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
(Pro 30:2) Surely I {am} more brutish than {any} man, and have not the understanding of a man.
(Pro 30:3) I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
(Pro 30:4) Who hath ascended up 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?
(Pro 30:5) Every word of God {is} pure: he {is} a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
(Pro 30:6) Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
(Pro 30:7) Two {things} have I required of thee; deny me {them} not before I die:
(Pro 30:8) Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
(Pro 30:9) 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}.
(Pro 30:10) Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
(Pro 30:11) {There is} a generation {that} curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
(Pro 30:12) {There is} a generation {that are} pure in their own eyes, and {yet} is not washed from their filthiness.
(Pro 30:13) {There is} a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
(Pro 30:14) {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.
(Pro 30:15) The horseleach hath two daughters, {crying}, Give, give. There are three {things that} are never satisfied, {yea}, four {things} say not, {It is} enough:
(Pro 30:16) The grave; and the barren womb; the earth {that} is not filled with water; and the fire {that} saith not, {It is} enough.
(Pro 30:17) The eye {that} mocketh at {his} father, and despiseth to obey {his} mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
(Pro 30:18) There be three {things which} are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
(Pro 30:19) 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.
(Pro 30:20) Such {is} the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
(Pro 30:21) For three {things} the earth is disquieted, and for four {which} it cannot bear:
(Pro 30:22) For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
(Pro 30:23) For an odious {woman} when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
(Pro 30:24) There be four {things which are} little upon the earth, but they {are} exceeding wise:
(Pro 30:25) The ants {are} a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
(Pro 30:26) The conies {are but} a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
(Pro 30:27) The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
(Pro 30:28) The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
(Pro 30:29) There be three {things} which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
(Pro 30:30) A lion {which is} strongest among beasts, and turneth not away {for any};
(Pro 30:31) A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom {there is} no rising up.
(Pro 30:32) If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, {lay} thine hand upon thy mouth.
(Pro 30:33) 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.
