Proverbs 30:1-9

1The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the prophecy uttered by the man unto Ithiel, [even] unto Ithiel and Ucal:

2Truly I am more stupid than any one; and I have not a man's intelligence.

3I have neither learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy.

4Who 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?

5Every word of 1God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

7Two things do I ask of thee; deny me [them] not before I die:

8Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread of my daily need:

9lest I be full and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor and steal, and outrage the name of my 2God.
