Proverbs 30

Revised Version 1895

1The wordsH1697 of AgurH94 the sonH1121 of JakehH3348; the oracleH5002. The manH1397 saith unto IthielH384, unto IthielH384 and UcalH401: 2SurelyH3588 I am moreH3808 brutish thanH3808 anyH376 manH376, and have notH3808 the understandingH998 of a manH376: 3And I have notH3808 learnedH3925 wisdomH2451, neitherH3808 have I the knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918 One. 4Who hath ascendedH5927 upH5927 intoH776 heavenH8064, and descendedH3381? who hath gatheredH622 the windH7307 in his fistsH2651? who hath bound the watersH4325 in his garmentH8071? who hath establishedH6965 allH3605 the endsH657 of the earthH776? whatH4100 is his nameH8034, and whatH4100 is his son’sH1121 nameH8034, ifH3588 thou knowest? 5EveryH3605 wordH565 of GodH433 is triedH6884: he is a shieldH4043 unto them that trust in him. 6AddH3254 thou notH408 unto his wordsH1697, lestH6435 he reproveH3198 thee, and thou be found a liarH3576. 7TwoH8147 things have I askedH7592 of thee; denyH4513 meH4480 them notH408 beforeH2962 I dieH4191: 8RemoveH7368 farH7368 from meH5414 vanityH7723 and liesH3577: giveH5414 meH5414 neitherH408 povertyH7389 norH408 richesH6239; feedH2963 meH5414 with the foodH3899 that is needful for meH5414: 9LestH6435 I be fullH7646, and denyH3584 thee, and sayH559, Who is the LORDH3068? or lestH6435 I be poorH3423, and stealH1589, and use profanely the nameH8034 of my GodH430. 10SlanderH3960 notH408 a servantH5650 unto his masterH113, lestH6435 he curseH7043 thee, and thou be heldH816 guiltyH816. 11There is a generationH1755 that curseth their fatherH1, and doth notH3808 blessH1288 their motherH517. 12There is a generationH1755 that are pureH2889 in their ownH5869 eyesH5869; and yet are notH3808 washedH7364 from their filthinessH6675. 13There is a generationH1755, Oh howH4100 loftyH7311 are their eyesH5869! and their eyelidsH6079 are liftedH5375 upH5375. 14There is a generationH1755 whoseH120 teethH8127 are as swordsH2719, and their jawH4973 teethH8127 as knivesH2719, to devourH398 the poorH6041 from offH398 the earthH776, and the needyH34 from among menH120. 15The horseleach hath twoH8147 daughtersH1323, Crying, GiveH3051, giveH3051. There are threeH7969 things that are neverH3808 satisfiedH7646, yea, fourH702 that sayH559 notH3808, EnoughH7646: 16The grave; and the barrenH6115 wombH7356; the earthH776 that is notH3808 satisfiedH7646 with waterH4325; and the fireH784 that saith notH3808, EnoughH7646. 17The eyeH5869 that mocketh at his fatherH1, and despiseth to obey his motherH517, the ravensH6158 of the valleyH5158 shall pickH5365 it out, and the youngH1121 eaglesH5404 shall eatH398 it. 18There be threeH7969 things which are tooH4480 wonderfulH6381 for meH4480, yea, fourH702 which I knowH3045 notH3808: 19The wayH1870 of an eagleH5404 in the air; the wayH1870 of a serpentH5175 uponH5921 a rockH6697; the wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the midstH3820 of the seaH3220; and the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a maidH5959. 20SoH3651 is the wayH1870 of an adulterousH5003 womanH802; sheH3808 eateth, and wipeth herH802 mouthH6310, and saith, I have doneH6466 noH3808 wickednessH205. 21For threeH7969 things the earthH776 doth trembleH7264, and for fourH702, which it cannotH3808 bearH5375: 22For a servantH5650 when he is kingH4427; and a foolH5036 when he is filledH7646 with meat; 23For an odious womanH8130 when sheH3588 is marriedH1166; and an handmaid that is heirH3423 to herH3423 mistressH1404. 24There be fourH702 things which are littleH6996 upon the earthH776, but they are exceeding wiseH2450: 25The antsH5244 are a peopleH5971 notH3808 strongH5794, yet they provideH3559 their meat in the summerH7019; 26The conies are but a feeble folk, yet makeH7760 they their housesH1004 in the rocksH5553; 27The locustsH697 have noH369 kingH4428, yet goH3318 they forthH3318 allH3605 of them by bands; 28The lizardH8079 taketh holdH8610 with herH1931 handsH3027, yet is sheH1931 in kings’H4428 palacesH1964, 29There be threeH7969 things which are statelyH3190 in their marchH6806, yea, fourH702 which are statelyH3190 in going: 30The lionH3918, whichH929 is mightiestH1368 among beastsH929, and turneth notH3808 awayH7725 for anyH3605; 31The greyhound; the he-goat also; and the kingH4428, againstH5973 whom there is no rising upH4428. 32IfH518 thou hast doneH3027 foolishly in lifting upH5375 thyself, or ifH518 thou hast thought evil, lay thine handH3027 uponH3027 thy mouthH6310. 33For the churningH4330 of milkH2461 bringeth forthH3318 butterH2529, and the wringing of the noseH639 bringeth forthH3318 bloodH1818: soH3318 the forcing of wrathH639 bringeth forthH3318 strifeH7379.
