Proverbs - ch 30 v 1 - 20
- The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the prophecy uttered by the man unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal:
- Truly I am more stupid than any one; and I have not a man's intelligence.
- I have neither learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy.
- Who hath ascended up into the heavens, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a mantle? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?
- Every word of +God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
- Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
- Two things do I ask of thee; deny me them not before I die:
- Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread of my daily need:
- lest I be full and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor and steal, and outrage the name of my God.
- Speak not too much about a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
- There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother;
- there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness;
- there is a generation, -- how lofty are their eyes, how their eyelids are lifted up!
- -- a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jaw-teeth knives, to devour the afflicted from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
- The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three things never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough:
- -- Sheol, and the barren womb; the earth which is not filled with water, and the fire which saith not, It is enough.
- The eye that mocketh at a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
- There are three things too wonderful for me, and four that I know not:
- The way of an eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid.
- Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
