The Wisdom of Agur

30The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, his utterance. This man declared to Ithiel—to Ithiel and Ucal:H1697H94H1121H3348H4853H1397H5002H384H384H401 2Surely I am more stupid than any man, And do not have the understanding of a man.H1198H376H998H120 3I neither learned wisdom Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.H3925H2451H3045H1847H6918 4Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, If you know?H5927H8064H3381H622H7307H2651H6887H4325H8071H6965H657H776H8034H1121H8034H3045 5Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.H565H433H6884H4043H2620 6Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.H3254H1697H3198H3576 7Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die):H8147H7592H4513H4191 8Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches—Feed me with the food allotted to me;H7368H7723H1697H3577H5414H7389H6239H2963H3899H2706 9Lest I be full and deny You, And say, "Who is the LORD?" Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God.H7646H3584H559H3068H3423H1589H8610H8034H430 10Do not malign a servant to his master, Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.H3960H5650H113H7043H816 11There is a generation that curses its father, And does not bless its mother.H1755H7043H1H1288H517 12There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness.H1755H2889H5869H7364H6675 13There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.H1755H7311H5869H6079H5375 14There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, And whose fangs are like knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.H1755H8127H2719H4973H3979H398H6041H776H34H120 15The leech has two daughters—Give and Give! There are three things that are never satisfied, Four never say, "Enough!":H5936H8147H1323H3051H3051H7969H7646H702H559H1952 16The grave, The barren womb, The earth that is not satisfied with water—And the fire never says, "Enough!"H7585H6115H7356H776H7646H4325H784H559H1952 17The eye that mocks his father, And scorns obedience to his 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, Yes, four which I do not understand:H7969H6381H702H3045 19The way of an eagle in the air, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the way of a man with a virgin.H1870H5404H8064H1870H5175H6697H1870H591H3820H3220H1870H1397H5959 20This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wickedness."H1870H5003H802H398H4229H6310H559H6466H205 21For three things the earth is perturbed, Yes, for four it cannot bear up:H7969H776H7264H702H3201H5375 22For a servant when he reigns, A fool when he is filled with food,H5650H4427H5036H7646H3899 23A hateful woman when she is married, And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.H8130H1166H8198H3423H1404 24There are four things which are little on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise:H702H6996H776H2449H2450 25The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their food in the summer;H5244H5971H5794H3559H3899H7019 26The rock badgers are a feeble folk, Yet they make their homes in the crags;H8227H6099H5971H7760H1004H5553 27The locusts have no king, Yet they all advance in ranks;H697H4428H3318H2686 28The spider skillfully grasps with its hands, And it is in kings' palaces.H8079H8610H3027H4428H1964 29There are three things which are majestic in pace, Yes, four which are stately in walk:H7969H6806H3190H702H2895H3212 30A lion, which is mighty among beasts And does not turn away from any;H3918H1368H929H7725H6440 31A greyhound, A male goat also, And a king whose troops are with him.H4975H2223H8495H176H4428H510 32If you have been foolish in exalting yourself, Or if you have devised evil, put your hand on your mouth.H5034H5375H2161H3027H6310 33For as the churning of milk produces butter, And wringing the nose produces blood, So the forcing of wrath produces strife.H4330H2461H3318H2529H4330H639H3318H1818H4330H639H3318H7379
