The Words of Agur

30The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle. The man declares, I am weary, O God; I am weary, O God, and worn out.H1697H94H1121H3348H4853H1397H5002H384H384H401 2Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.H1198H376H998H120 3I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.H3925H2451H3045H1847H6918 4Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up 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? Surely you know!H5927H8064H3381H622H7307H2651H6887H4325H8071H6965H657H776H8034H1121H8034H3045 5Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.H565H433H6884H4043H2620 6Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.H3254H1697H3198H3576 7Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die:H8147H7592H4513H4191 8Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for 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 slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.H3960H5650H113H7043H816 11There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.H1755H7043H1H1288H517 12There are those who are clean in their own eyes but are not washed of their filth.H1755H2889H5869H7364H6675 13There are those—how lofty are their eyes, how high their eyelids lift!H1755H7311H5869H6079H5375 14There are those whose teeth are swords, whose fangs are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among mankind.H1755H8127H2719H4973H3979H398H6041H776H34H120 15The leech has two daughters: Give and Give. Three things are never satisfied; four never say, "Enough":H5936H8147H1323H3051H3051H7969H7646H702H559H1952 16Sheol, the barren womb, the land never satisfied with water, and the fire that never says, "Enough."H7585H6115H7356H776H7646H4325H784H559H1952 17The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be picked out by the ravens of the valley and eaten by the vultures.H5869H3932H1H936H3349H517H6158H5158H5365H1121H5404H398 18Three things are too wonderful for me; four 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 on the high seas, and the way of a man with a virgin.H1870H5404H8064H1870H5175H6697H1870H591H3820H3220H1870H1397H5959 20This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, "I have done no wrong."H1870H5003H802H398H4229H6310H559H6466H205 21Under three things the earth trembles; under four it cannot bear up:H7969H776H7264H702H3201H5375 22a slave when he becomes king, and a fool when he is filled with food;H5650H4427H5036H7646H3899 23an unloved woman when she gets a husband, and a maidservant when she displaces her mistress.H8130H1166H8198H3423H1404 24Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise:H702H6996H776H2449H2450 25the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;H5244H5971H5794H3559H3899H7019 26the rock badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the cliffs;H8227H6099H5971H7760H1004H5553 27the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank;H697H4428H3318H2686 28the lizard you can take in your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.H8079H8610H3027H4428H1964 29Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride:H7969H6806H3190H702H2895H3212 30the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any;H3918H1368H929H7725H6440 31the strutting rooster, the he-goat, and a king whose army is with him.H4975H2223H8495H176H4428H510 32If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth.H5034H5375H2161H3027H6310 33For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.H4330H2461H3318H2529H4330H639H3318H1818H4330H639H3318H7379
