Proverbs 30

The Words of Agur

1

The wordsh1697 of Agurh94 the sonh1121 of Jakehh3348, the  1oracleh4853b.

The manh1397 declaresh5002 to Ithielh384, to Ithielh384 and Ucalh401:

2

Surelyh3588 I am moreh4480  astupidh1198 thanh4480 anyh376 manh376, And I do not have the understandingh998 of a manh120.

3

Neitherh3808 have I learnedh3925 wisdomh2451, Norh3808 do I haveh3045 the  aknowledgeh1847 of the Holyh6918 Oneh6918.

4

Whoh4310 has  aascendedh5927 into heavenh8064 and descendedh3381? Whoh4310 has gatheredh622 the  bwindh7307 in His fistsh2651? Whoh4310 has  cwrappedh6887a the watersh4325 in  1His garmenth8071? Whoh4310 has  destablishedh6965 allh3605 the endsh657 of the earthh776? Whath4100 is His  enameh8034 or His son'sh1121 nameh8034? Surelyh3588 you knowh3045!

5

Everyh3605  awordh565a of Godh433 is testedh6884; He is a  bshieldh4043 to those who takeh2620 refugeh2620 in Him.

6

 aDo not addh3254 to His wordsh1697 Orh6435 He will reproveh3198 you, and you will be provedh3576 a liarh3576.

7

Twoh8147 thingsh8147 I askedh7592 of You, Do not refuseh4513 me beforeh2962 I dieh4191:

8

Keeph7368 deceptionh7723 and  1liesh3577 farh7368 from me, Giveh5414 me neitherh408 povertyh7389 norh408 richesh6239; Feedh2963 me with the  afoodh3899 that is my portionh2706,

9

That I not be  afullh7646 and denyh3584  bYou and sayh559, "Whoh4310 is the LORDh3068?" Or that I not be  cin wanth3423 and stealh1589, And  dprofaneh8610 the nameh8034 of my Godh430.

10

Do not slanderh3960 a slaveh5650 to his masterh113, Orh6435 he will  acurseh7043 you and you will be foundh816 guiltyh816.

11

There is a  1kindh1755 of man who  acursesh7043 his fatherh1 And does not blessh1288 his motherh517.

12

There is a  1kindh1755 who is  apureh2889 in his own eyesh5869, Yet is not washedh7364 from his filthinessh6675.

13

There is a  1kindh1755--oh howh4100  aloftyh7311 are his eyesh5869! And his eyelidsh6079 are raisedh5375 in arrogance.

14

There is a  1kindh1755 of man whose  ateethh8127 are like swordsh2719 And his  bjawh4973 teethh4973 like knivesh3979, To  cdevourh398 the afflictedh6041 from the earthh776 And the needyh34 from among menh120.

15

The leechh5936 has twoh8147 daughtersh1323, "Giveh3051," "Giveh3051." Thereh1992a are threeh7969 thingsh7969 that will not be satisfiedh7646, Fourh702 that will not sayh559, "Enoughh1952":

16

 1 aSheolh7585, and the  bbarrenh6115 wombh7358, Earthh776 that is neverh3808 satisfiedh7646 with waterh4325, And fireh784 that neverh3808 saysh559, "Enoughh1952."

17

The eyeh5869 that  amocksh3932 a fatherh1 And  1 bscornsh936h3349 a motherh517, The  cravensh6158 of the valleyh5158a will pickh5365 it out, And the youngh1121  ceaglesh5404 will eath398 it.

18

Thereh1992a are threeh7969 thingsh7969 which are tooh4480 wonderfulh6381 for me, Fourh702 which I do not understandh3045:

19

The wayh1870 of an  aeagleh5404 in the skyh8064, The wayh1870 of a serpenth5175 on a rockh6697, The wayh1870 of a shiph591 in the middleh3820 of the seah3220, And the wayh1870 of a manh1397 with a maidh5959.

20

Thish3651 is the wayh1870 of an  aadulteroush5003 womanh802: She eatsh398 and wipesh4229a her mouthh6310, And saysh559, "I have doneh6466 noh3808 wrongh205."

21

Underh8478 threeh7969 thingsh7969 the earthh776 quakesh7264, And underh8478 fourh702, it cannoth3201h3808 bearh5375 up:

22

Underh8478 a  aslaveh5650 whenh3588 he becomesh4427a kingh4427a, And a foolh5036 whenh3588 he is satisfiedh7646 with foodh3899,

23

Underh8478 an unlovedh8130 woman whenh3588 she getsh1166 a husbandh1166, And a maidservanth8198 whenh3588 she supplantsh3423 her mistressh1404.

24

Fourh702 thingsh702 are smallh6996a on the earthh776, But they are exceedinglyh2449 wiseh2450:

25

The  aantsh5244 are not a strongh5794 peopleh5971a, But they prepareh3559 their foodh3899 in the summerh7019c;

26

The  1 ashephanimh8227a are not mightyh6099 peopleh5971a, Yet they makeh7760 their housesh1004 in the rocksh5553;

27

The locustsh697 haveh369 noh369 kingh4428, Yet allh3605 of them goh3318 out in  aranksh2686a;

28

The lizardh8079 you may grasph8610 with the handsh3027, Yet it is in kings'h4428 palacesh1964.

29

Thereh1992a are threeh7969 thingsh7969 which are statelyh3190 in their marchh6806, Even fourh702 which are statelyh3190 when they walkh1980:

30

The lionh3918 which is  amightyh1368 among beastsh929 And does not  1 bretreath7725 beforeh4480h6440 anyh3605,

31

The  1struttingh2223h4975 roosterh4975, the maleh8495 goath8495 alsoh176, And a kingh4428 when his armyh510 is with him.

32

Ifh518 you have beenh5034a foolishh5034a in exaltingh5375 yourself Or ifh518 you have plottedh2161 evil,  aput your handh3027 on your mouthh6310.

33

For the  1churningh4330 of milkh2461 producesh3318 butterh2529, And pressingh4330 the noseh639 bringsh3318 forthh3318 bloodh1818; So the  1churningh4330 of  aangerh639 producesh3318 strifeh7379.
