Proverbs 30:1-9

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.
