30:1 The words 1697 of Agur 94 the son 1121 of Jakeh 3348, [even] the prophecy 4853: the man 1397 spake 5002 8803 unto Ithiel 384, even unto Ithiel 384 and Ucal 401,

30:2 Surely I [am] more brutish 1198 than [any] man 376, and have not the understanding 998 of a man 120.

30:3 I neither learned 3925 8804 wisdom 2451, nor have 3045 8799 the knowledge 1847 of the holy 6918.(have: Heb. know)

30:4 Who hath ascended up 5927 8804 into heaven 8064, or descended 3381 8799? who hath gathered 622 8804 the wind 7307 in his fists 2651? who hath bound 6887 8804 the waters 4325 in a garment 8071? who hath established 6965 8689 all the ends 657 of the earth 776? what [is] his name 8034, and what [is] his son's 1121 name 8034, if thou canst tell 3045 8799?

30:5 Every word 565 of God 433 [is] pure 6884 8803: he [is] a shield 4043 unto them that put their trust 2620 8802 in him.(pure: Heb. purified)

30:6 Add 3254 8686 thou not unto his words 1697, lest he reprove 3198 8686 thee, and thou be found a liar 3576 8738.

30:7 Two 8147 [things] have I required 7592 8804 of thee; deny 4513 8799 me [them] not before I die 4191 8799:(deny…: Heb. withhold not from me)

30:8 Remove far 7368 8685 from me vanity 7723 and lies 1697 3577: give 5414 8799 me neither poverty 7389 nor riches 6239; feed 2963 8685 me with food 3899 convenient 2706 for me:(convenient…: Heb. of my allowance)

30:9 Lest I be full 7646 8799, and deny 3584 8765 [thee], and say 559 8804, Who [is] the LORD 3068? or lest I be poor 3423 8735, and steal 1589 8804, and take 8610 8804 the name 8034 of my God 430 [in vain].(deny…: Heb. belie thee)

30:10 Accuse 3960 8686 not a servant 5650 unto his master 113, lest he curse 7043 8762 thee, and thou be found guilty 816 8804.(Accuse…: Heb. Hurt not with thy tongue)

30:11 [There is] a generation 1755 [that] curseth 7043 8762 their father 1, and doth not bless 1288 8762 their mother 517.

30:12 [There is] a generation 1755 [that are] pure 2889 in their own eyes 5869, and [yet] is not washed 7364 8795 from their filthiness 6675.

30:13 [There is] a generation 1755, O how lofty 7311 8804 are their eyes 5869! and their eyelids 6079 are lifted up 5375 8735.

30:14 [There is] a generation 1755, whose teeth 8127 [are as] swords 2719, and their jaw teeth 4973 [as] knives 3979, to devour 398 8800 the poor 6041 from off the earth 776, and the needy 34 from [among] men 120.

30:15 The horseleach 5936 hath two 8147 daughters 1323, [crying], Give 3051 8798, give 3051 8798. There are three 7969 [things that] are never satisfied 7646 8799, [yea], four 702 [things] say 559 8804 not, [It is] enough 1952:(It is…: Heb. Wealth)

30:16 The grave 7585; and the barren 6115 womb 7356; the earth 776 [that] is not filled 7646 8804 with water 4325; and the fire 784 [that] saith 559 8804 not, [It is] enough 1952.

30:17 The eye 5869 [that] mocketh 3932 8799 at [his] father 1, and despiseth 936 8799 to obey 3349 [his] mother 517, the ravens 6158 of the valley 5158 shall pick it out 5365 8799, and the young 1121 eagles 5404 shall eat 398 8799 it.(the valley: or, the brook)

30:18 There be three 7969 [things which] are too wonderful 6381 8738 for me, yea, four 702 which I know 3045 8804 not:

30:19 The way 1870 of an eagle 5404 in the air 8064; the way 1870 of a serpent 5175 upon a rock 6697; the way 1870 of a ship 591 in the midst 3820 of the sea 3220; and the way 1870 of a man 1397 with a maid 5959.(midst: Heb. heart)

30:20 Such [is] the way 1870 of an adulterous 5003 8764 woman 802; she eateth 398 8804, and wipeth 4229 8804 her mouth 6310, and saith 559 8804, I have done 6466 8804 no wickedness 205.

30:21 For three 7969 [things] the earth 776 is disquieted 7264 8804, and for four 702 [which] it cannot 3201 8799 bear 5375 8800:

30:22 For a servant 5650 when he reigneth 4427 8799; and a fool 5036 when he is filled 7646 8799 with meat 3899;

30:23 For an odious 8130 8803 [woman] when she is married 1166 8735; and an handmaid 8198 that is heir 3423 8799 to her mistress 1404.

30:24 There be four 702 [things which are] little 6996 upon the earth 776, but they [are] exceeding 2449 8794 wise 2450:(exceeding…: Heb. wise, made wise)

30:25 The ants 5244 [are] a people 5971 not strong 5794, yet they prepare 3559 8686 their meat 3899 in the summer 7019;

30:26 The conies 8227 [are but] a feeble 6099 folk 5971, yet make 7760 8799 they their houses 1004 in the rocks 5553;

30:27 The locusts 697 have no king 4428, yet go they forth 3318 8799 all of them by bands 2686 8802;(by…: Heb. gathered together)

30:28 The spider 8079 taketh hold 8610 8762 with her hands 3027, and is in kings' 4428 palaces 1964.

30:29 There be three 7969 [things] which go 6806 well 3190 8688, yea, four 702 are comely 2895 8688 in going 3212 8800:

30:30 A lion 3918 [which is] strongest 1368 among beasts 929, and turneth not away 7725 8799 for 6440 any;

30:31 A greyhound 4975 2223; an he goat 8495 also 176; and a king 4428, against whom [there is] no rising up 510.(greyhound: or, horse: Heb. girt in the loins)

30:32 If thou hast done foolishly 5034 8804 in lifting up 5375 8692 thyself, or if thou hast thought evil 2161 8804, [lay] thine hand 3027 upon thy mouth 6310.
