The Words of Agur

30The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle. The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:H1697H94H1121H3348H4853H1397H5002H384H384H401 2Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man.H1198H376H998H120 3Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.H3925H2451H3045H1847H6918 4Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son's name? Surely you know!H5927H8064H3381H622H7307H2651H6887H4325H8071H6965H657H776H8034H1121H8034H3045 5Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.H565H433H6884H4043H2620 6Do not add to His words Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar.H3254H1697H3198H3576 7Two things I asked of Thee, Do not refuse me before I die:H8147H7592H4513H4191 8Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion,H7368H7723H1697H3577H5414H7389H6239H2963H3899H2706 9Lest I be full and deny [Thee] and say, "Who is the LORD?" Or lest I be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God.H7646H3584H559H3068H3423H1589H8610H8034H430 10Do not slander a slave to his master, Lest he curse you and you be found guilty.H3960H5650H113H7043H816 11There is a kind of [man] who curses his father, And does not bless his mother.H1755H7043H1H1288H517 12There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness.H1755H2889H5869H7364H6675 13There is a kind— oh how lofty are his eyes! And his eyelids are raised [in arrogance.]H1755H7311H5869H6079H5375 14There is a kind of [man] whose teeth are [like] swords, And his jaw teeth [like] knives, To devour the afflicted from the earth, And the needy from among men.H1755H8127H2719H4973H3979H398H6041H776H34H120 15The leech has two daughters, "Give," "Give." There are three things that will not be satisfied, Four that will not say, "Enough":H5936H8147H1323H3051H3051H7969H7646H702H559H1952 16Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, "Enough."H7585H6115H7356H776H7646H4325H784H559H1952 17The eye that mocks a father, And scorns a mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles will eat it.H5869H3932H1H936H3349H517H6158H5158H5365H1121H5404H398 18There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Four which I do not understand:H7969H6381H702H3045 19The way of an eagle in the sky, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the middle of the sea, And the way of a man with a maid.H1870H5404H8064H1870H5175H6697H1870H591H3820H3220H1870H1397H5959 20This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wrong."H1870H5003H802H398H4229H6310H559H6466H205 21Under three things the earth quakes, And under four, it cannot bear up:H7969H776H7264H702H3201H5375 22Under a slave when he becomes king, And a fool when he is satisfied with food,H5650H4427H5036H7646H3899 23Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband, And a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.H8130H1166H8198H3423H1404 24Four things are small on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise:H702H6996H776H2449H2450 25The ants are not a strong folk, But they prepare their food in the summer;H5244H5971H5794H3559H3899H7019 26The badgers are not mighty folk, Yet they make their houses in the rocks;H8227H6099H5971H7760H1004H5553 27The locusts have no king, Yet all of them go out in ranks;H697H4428H3318H2686 28The lizard you may grasp with the hands, Yet it is in kings' palaces.H8079H8610H3027H4428H1964 29There are three things which are stately in [their] march, Even four which are stately when they walk:H7969H6806H3190H702H2895H3212 30The lion [which] is mighty among beasts And does not retreat before any,H3918H1368H929H7725H6440 31The strutting cock, the male goat also, And a king [when his] army is with him.H4975H2223H8495H176H4428H510 32If you have been foolish in exalting yourself Or if you have plotted [evil, put your] hand on your mouth.H5034H5375H2161H3027H6310 33For the churning of milk produces butter, And pressing the nose brings forth blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.H4330H2461H3318H2529H4330H639H3318H1818H4330H639H3318H7379
