Proverbs 30:1-9

1The wordsH1697 of AgurH94 the sonH1121 of JakehH3348, even the prophecyH4853: the manH1397 spakeH5002 unto IthielH384, even unto IthielH384 and UcalH401,

2Surely I am more brutishH1198 than any manH376, and have not the understandingH998 of a manH120.

3I neither learnedH3925 wisdomH2451, nor haveH3045 the knowledgeH1847 of the holyH6918.1

4Who hath ascended upH5927 into heavenH8064, or descendedH3381? who hath gatheredH622 the windH7307 in his fistsH2651? who hath boundH6887 the watersH4325 in a garmentH8071? who hath establishedH6965 all the endsH657 of the earthH776? what is his nameH8034, and what is his son’sH1121 nameH8034, if thou canst tellH3045?

5Every wordH565 of GodH433 is pureH6884: he is a shieldH4043 unto them that put their trustH2620 in him.2

6AddH3254 thou not unto his wordsH1697, lest he reproveH3198 thee, and thou be found a liarH3576.

7TwoH8147 things have I requiredH7592 of thee; denyH4513 me them not before I dieH4191:3

8Remove farH7368 from me vanityH7723 and liesH3577H1697: giveH5414 me neither povertyH7389 nor richesH6239; feedH2963 me with foodH3899 convenientH2706 for me:4

9Lest I be fullH7646, and denyH3584 thee, and sayH559, Who is YhwhH3068? or lest I be poorH3423, and stealH1589, and takeH8610 the nameH8034 of my GodH430 in vain.5
