Proverbs 30:1-14

1The wordsH1697 of AgurH94 the sonH1121 of JakehH3348, the 1oracleH4853.

The manH1397 declaresH5002 to IthielH384, to IthielH384 and UcalH401:2SurelyH3588 I am moreH4480 2stupidH1198 thanH4480 anyH376 manH376, And I do not have the understandingH998 of a manH120.3NeitherH3808 have I learnedH3925 wisdomH2451, NorH3808 do I haveH3045 the 3knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918.4WhoH4310 has 4ascendedH5927 into heavenH8064 and descendedH3381? WhoH4310 has gatheredH622 the 5windH7307 in His fistsH2651? WhoH4310 has 6wrappedH6887 the watersH4325 in 7His garmentH8071? WhoH4310 has 8establishedH6965 allH3605 the endsH657 of the earthH776? WhatH4100 is His 9nameH8034 or His son’sH1121 nameH8034? SurelyH3588 you knowH3045!

5EveryH3605 10wordH565 of GodH433 is testedH6884; He is a 11shieldH4043 to those who takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him.612Do not addH3254 to His wordsH1697 OrH6435 He will reproveH3198 you, and you will be provedH3576 a liarH3576.

7TwoH8147 thingsH8147 I askedH7592 of You, Do not refuseH4513 me beforeH2962 I dieH4191:8KeepH7368 deceptionH7723 and 13liesH3577 farH7368 from me, GiveH5414 me neitherH408 povertyH7389 norH408 richesH6239; FeedH2963 me with the 14foodH3899 that is my portionH2706,9That I not be 15fullH7646 and denyH3584 16You and sayH559, “WhoH4310 is the LordH3068?” Or that I not be 17in wantH3423 and stealH1589, And 18profaneH8610 the nameH8034 of my GodH430.

10Do not slanderH3960 a slaveH5650 to his masterH113, OrH6435 he will 19curseH7043 you and you will be foundH816 guiltyH816.

11There is a 20kindH1755 of man who 21cursesH7043 his fatherH1 And does not blessH1288 his motherH517.12There is a 22kindH1755 who is 23pureH2889 in his own eyesH5869, Yet is not washedH7364 from his filthinessH6675.13There is a 24kindH1755--oh howH4100 25loftyH7311 are his eyesH5869! And his eyelidsH6079 are raisedH5375 in arrogance.14There is a 26kindH1755 of man whose 27teethH8127 are like swordsH2719 And his 28jawH4973 teethH4973 like knivesH3979, To 29devourH398 the afflictedH6041 from the earthH776 And the needyH34 from among menH120.
