Proverbs 30

1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke to Ithiel, even to Ithiel and Ucal,
Compare verse
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
Compare verse
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
Compare verse
4 Who has ascended up 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 can tell?
Compare verse
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield to them that put their trust in him.
Compare verse
6 Add you not to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
Compare verse
7 Two things have I required of you; deny me them not before I die:
Compare verse
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Compare verse
9 Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
Compare verse
10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
Compare verse
11 There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
Compare verse
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
Compare verse
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
Compare verse
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
Compare verse
15 The horse leach has two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yes, four things say not, It is enough:
Compare verse
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that said not, It is enough.
Compare verse
17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
Compare verse
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I know not:
Compare verse
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the middle of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
Compare verse
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and said, I have done no wickedness.
Compare verse
21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
Compare verse
22 For a servant when he reigns; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
Compare verse
23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
Compare verse
24 There be four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
Compare verse
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
Compare verse
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
Compare verse
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
Compare verse
28 The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
Compare verse
29 There be three things which go well, yes, four are comely in going:
Compare verse
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away for any;
Compare verse
31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
Compare verse
32 If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, lay your hand on your mouth.
Compare verse
33 Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.
