The Oracle

30A discourse by the faithful collector. This is what this valiant man declared to the God with me, to the God with me, who then prevailed:H1697H94H1121H3348H4853H1397H5002H384H384H401
2Surely I am beyond the senselessness of any man; I do not perceive things the way human beings do.H1198H376H998H120
3I never acquired wisdom, but I know what the Holy One knows.H3925H2451H3045H1847H6918
4Who has ascended to heaven, and then descended? Who has collected the wind in his hands? Who has wrapped up waters in a garment? Who has established all the farthest points of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!H5927H8064H3381H622H7307H2651H6887H4325H8071H6965H657H776H8034H1121H8034H3045
5Everything God says is pure; he is a shield for those who take refuge in him.H565H433H6884H4043H2620
6Don't add to his words, or he will rebuke you, and you will be shown to be a liar.H3254H1697H3198H3576

On Contentment in Life

7God, I have asked you for two things? don't refuse me before I die?H8147H7592H4513H4191
8Keep deception and lies far away from me, and give me neither poverty nor wealth. Feed me with food that I need for today,H7368H7723H1697H3577H5414H7389H6239H2963H3899H2706
9so that I don't become overfed and deny you by saying, "Who is the Lord?" or so that I don't become poor and steal, and then misuse the name of my God.H7646H3584H559H3068H3423H1589H8610H8034H430

On Different Kinds of People

10Don't lie about a servant to his master, or that servant will curse you and you will pay for it.H3960H5650H113H7043H816
11Some people curse their fathers and won't bless their mothers.H1755H7043H1H1288H517
12Some people view themselves as pure, but haven't been cleansed from their own filth.H1755H2889H5869H7364H6675
13Some people?what an arrogant look they have!? raise their eyebrows haughtily.H1755H7311H5869H6079H5375
14Some people have swords for teeth and knives for fangs to devour the afflicted from the earth and the needy from among mankind.H1755H8127H2719H4973H3979H398H6041H776H34H120
15The leech has two daughters: "Give" and "Give". Three things will never be satisfied; four will never say "Enough"?H5936H8147H1323H3051H3051H7969H7646H702H559H1952
16The afterlife, the barren womb, earth that still demands water, and fire? they never say, "Enough".H7585H6115H7356H776H7646H4325H784H559H1952
17The eye that mocks a father and looks with a disobedient attitude at a mother? the valley ravens will pluck it out; and vultures will eat it.H5869H3932H1H936H3349H517H6158H5158H5365H1121H5404H398

What Causes Wonder

18Three things cause wonder for me; four are beyond my understanding:H7969H6381H702H3045
19The way an eagle flies in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman.H1870H5404H8064H1870H5175H6697H1870H591H3820H3220H1870H1397H5959
20This is what an immoral woman is like: she eats, wipes her mouth, then says "I've done nothing wrong."H1870H5003H802H398H4229H6310H559H6466H205
21Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot remain steady:H7969H776H7264H702H3201H5375
22Under a slave when he becomes a king, a fool when he is overfed,H5650H4427H5036H7646H3899
23an unloved woman when she finds a husband, and a servant girl who inherits from her mistress.H8130H1166H8198H3423H1404
24Four things on earth are small, but they are very, very wise:H702H6996H776H2449H2450
25Ants aren't a strong species, yet they prepare their food in the summer.H5244H5971H5794H3559H3899H7019
26The rock badgers aren't a strong species either, yet they build their dens in the rocks.H8227H6099H5971H7760H1004H5553
27Locusts have no king, but they all swarm in ranks.H697H4428H3318H2686
28Spiders can be caught by the hand, yet they're found in kings' palaces.H8079H8610H3027H4428H1964
29Three things are stately in procession, four which are stately in their gait:H7969H6806H3190H702H2895H3212
30The lion, mighty among the beasts, retreats before nothing.H3918H1368H929H7725H6440
31The strutting rooster, as well as the goat, and a king with his army.H4975H2223H8495H176H4428H510
32If you've foolishly exalted yourself or if you've plotted evil, put your hand over your mouth.H5034H5375H2161H3027H6310
33Just as whipping milk produces butter, and twisting the nose causes bleeding, so also stirring up anger produces contention.H4330H2461H3318H2529H4330H639H3318H1818H4330H639H3318H7379
