Proverbs 30

1The wordsH1697 of Agur the sonH1121 of Jakeh; the prophecy uttered by the manH1397 unto IthielH384, [even] unto IthielH384 and Ucal: 2Truly I am more stupidH1198 than any oneH376; and I have not a man's intelligence. 3I have neither learnedH3925 wisdomH2451, nor have I the knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918. 4Who hath ascended up into the heavensH8064, and descended? Who hath gatheredH622 the windH7307 in his fists? Who hath bound the watersH4325 in a mantle? Who hath establishedH6965 all the endsH657 of the earthH776? What is his nameH8034, and what is his son's nameH8034, if thou knowest? 5Every wordH565 of 1GodH433 is pure: he is a shieldH4043 unto them that put their trust in him. 6AddH3254 thou not unto his wordsH1697, lestH6435 he reproveH3198 thee, and thou be found a liarH3576. 7TwoH8147 things do I askH7592 of thee; deny me [them] not before I dieH4191: 8RemoveH7368 farH7368 from me vanityH7723 and liesH3577; giveH5414 me neither povertyH7389 nor richesH6239; feed me with the breadH3899 of my daily need: 9lestH6435 I be full and denyH3584 [thee], and sayH559, Who is Jehovah? or lestH6435 I be poor and stealH1589, and outrage the nameH8034 of my 2GodH430. 10Speak not too much about a servantH5650 to his masterH113, lestH6435 he curseH7043 thee, and thou be held guiltyH816. 11There is a generationH1755 that curseth their fatherH1, and doth not blessH1288 their motherH517; 12there is a generationH1755 that are pureH2889 in their ownH5869 eyesH5869, yet are not washedH7364 from their filthiness; 13there is a generationH1755, — howH4100 loftyH7311 are their eyesH5869, howH4100 their eyelidsH6079 are liftedH5375 up! 14— a generationH1755 whose teethH8127 are swordsH2719, and their jaw-teeth knives, to devourH398 the afflictedH6041 from off the earthH776, and the needyH34 from [among] menH120. 15The leech hath twoH8147 daughtersH1323: GiveH3051, giveH3051. There are threeH7969 [thingsH7969] never satisfiedH7646; fourH702 which sayH559 not, It is enough: 16— SheolH7585, and the barren wombH7356; the earthH776 which is not filled with waterH4325, and the fireH784 which saith not, It is enough. 17The eyeH5869 that mocketh at a fatherH1, and despiseth to obey a motherH517, the ravensH6158 of the valley shall pick it out, and the youngH1121 eaglesH5404 shall eatH398 it. 18There are threeH7969 [thingsH7969] too wonderfulH6381 for me, and fourH702 that I knowH3045 not: 19The wayH1870 of an eagleH5404 in the heavensH8064, the wayH1870 of a serpent upon a rockH6697, the wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the midst of the seaH3220, and the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a maid. 20Such is the wayH1870 of an adulterousH5003 womanH802: she eateth, and wipeth her mouthH6310, and saith, I have done no wickednessH205. 21Under threeH7969 [thingsH7969] the earthH776 is disquieted, and under fourH702 it cannot bearH5375 up: 22Under a servantH5650 when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat; 23under an odious [woman] when she is marriedH1166, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistressH1404. 24There are fourH702 [thingsH702] littleH6996 upon the earthH776, and they are exceeding wiseH2450: 25The ants, a peopleH5971 not strongH5794, yet they provide their foodH3899 in the summerH7019; 26the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they makeH7760 their houseH1004 in the cliffH5553; 27the locustsH697 have no kingH4428, yet they goH3318 forthH3318 all of them by bands; 28thou takest hold of the lizard with the handsH3027, yet is she in kings' palacesH1964. 29There are threeH7969 [thingsH7969] which have a stately step, and fourH702 are comely in going: 30The lionH3918, mightyH1368 among beasts, which turneth not awayH7725 for any; 31a [horse] girt in the loinsH4975; or the he-goat; and a kingH4428, against whom none can rise up. 32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, [lay] the handH3027 upon thy mouthH6310. 33For the pressing of milkH2461 bringeth forthH3318 butter, and the pressing of the noseH639 bringeth forthH3318 bloodH1818; and the pressing of angerH639 bringeth forthH3318 strifeH7379.
