Sayings of Agur

30The words of Agur son of Jakeh. An oracle. Thus says the man: I am weary, O God, I am weary, O God. How can I prevail?H1697H94H1121H3348H4853H1397H5002H384H384H401 2Surely I am too stupid to be human; I do not have human understanding.H1198H376H998H120 3I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the holy ones.H3925H2451H3045H1847H6918 4Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of the hand? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is the person's name? And what is the name of the person's child? 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, or else he will rebuke you, and you will be found a liar.H3254H1697H3198H3576 7Two things I ask of you; do not deny them 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 I need,H7368H7723H1697H3577H5414H7389H6239H2963H3899H2706 9or I shall be full, and deny you, and say, "Who is the LORD?" or I shall be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God.H7646H3584H559H3068H3423H1589H8610H8034H430 10Do not slander a servant to a master, or the servant will curse you, and you will be held guilty.H3960H5650H113H7043H816 11There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.H1755H7043H1H1288H517 12There are those who are pure in their own eyes yet are not cleansed of their filthiness.H1755H2889H5869H7364H6675 13There are those—how lofty are their eyes, how high their eyelids lift!H1755H7311H5869H6079H5375 14There are those whose teeth are swords, whose teeth are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among mortals.H1755H8127H2719H4973H3979H398H6041H776H34H120 15The leech has two daughters; "Give, give," they cry. Three things are never satisfied; four never say, "Enough":H5936H8147H1323H3051H3051H7969H7646H702H559H1952 16Sheol, the barren womb, the earth ever thirsty for water, and the fire that never says, "Enough."H7585H6115H7356H776H7646H4325H784H559H1952 17The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be pecked 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 snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a girl.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 glutted with food;H5650H4427H5036H7646H3899 23an unloved woman when she gets a husband, and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.H8130H1166H8198H3423H1404 24Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise:H702H6996H776H2449H2450 25the ants are a people without strength, yet they provide their food in the summer;H5244H5971H5794H3559H3899H7019 26the badgers are a people without power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;H8227H6099H5971H7760H1004H5553 27the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank;H697H4428H3318H2686 28the lizard can be grasped in the hand, yet it is found in kings' palaces.H8079H8610H3027H4428H1964 29Three things are stately in their stride; four are stately in their gait:H7969H6806H3190H702H2895H3212 30the lion, which is mightiest among wild animals and does not turn back before any;H3918H1368H929H7725H6440 31the strutting rooster, the he-goat, and a king striding before his people.H4975H2223H8495H176H4428H510 32If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth.H5034H5375H2161H3027H6310 33For as pressing milk produces curds, and pressing the nose produces blood, so pressing anger produces strife.H4330H2461H3318H2529H4330H639H3318H1818H4330H639H3318H7379
