1 T he wordsH1697 of AgurH94 the sonH1121 of Jakeh;H3348 The oracle.H4853 The manH1397 saithH5002 unto Ithiel,H384 unto IthielH384 and Ucal:H401
2 Surely I am more brutishH1198 than any man,H376 And have not the understandingH998 of a man;H120
3 And I have not learnedH3925 wisdom,H2451 Neither haveH3045 I the knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918 One.
4 Who hath ascended upH5927 into heaven,H8064 and descended?H3381 Who hath gatheredH622 the windH7307 in his fists?H2651 Who hath boundH6887 the watersH4325 in his garment?H8071 Who hath establishedH6965 all the endsH657 of the earth?H776 What is his name,H8034 and what is his son'sH1121 name,H8034 if thou knowest?H3045
5 Every wordH565 of GodH433 is tried:H6884 He is a shieldH4043 unto them that take refugeH2620 in him.
6 AddH3254 thou not unto his words,H1697 Lest he reproveH3198 thee, and thou be found a liar.H3576
7 TwoH8147 things have I askedH7592 of thee; DenyH4513 me [them] not before I die:H4191
8 Remove farH7368 from me falsehoodH7723 and lies;H1697 GiveH5414 me neither povertyH7389 nor riches;H6239 FeedH2963 me with the foodH3899 that is needfulH2706 for me:
9 Lest I be full,H7646 and denyH3584 [thee], and say,H559 Who is Jehovah?H3068 Or lest I be poor,H3423 and steal,H1589 And use profanelyH8610 the nameH8034 of my God.H430
10 SlanderH3960 not a servantH5650 unto his master,H113 Lest he curseH7043 thee, and thou be held guilty.H816
11 There is a generationH1755 that curseH7043 their father,H1 And blessH1288 not their mother.H517
12 There is a generationH1755 that are pureH2889 in their own eyes,H5869 And [yet] are not washedH7364 from their filthiness.H6675
13 There is a generation,H1755 oh how loftyH7311 are their eyes!H5869 And their eyelidsH6079 are lifted up.H5375
14 There is a generationH1755 whose teethH8127 are [as] swords,H2719 and their jaw teethH4973 [as] knives,H3979 To devourH398 the poorH6041 from off the earth,H776 and the needyH34 from among men.H120
15 The horseleachH5936 hath twoH8147 daughters,H1323 [crying], Give,H3051 give.H3051 There are threeH7969 things that are never satisfied,H7646 [Yea], fourH702 that sayH559 not, Enough:H1952
16 Sheol;H7585 And the barrenH6115 womb;H7356 The earthH776 that is not satisfiedH7646 with water;H4325 And the fireH784 that saithH559 not, Enough.H1952
17 The eyeH5869 that mockethH3932 at his father,H1 And despisethH936 to obeyH3349 his mother,H517 The ravensH6158 of the valleyH5158 shall pick it out,H5365 And the youngH1121 eaglesH5404 shall eatH398 it.
18 There are threeH7969 things which are too wonderfulH6381 for me, Yea, fourH702 which I knowH3045 not:
19 The wayH1870 of an eagleH5404 in the air;H8064 The wayH1870 of a serpentH5175 upon a rock;H6697 The wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the midstH3820 of the sea;H3220 And the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a maiden.H5959
20 So is the wayH1870 of an adulterousH5003 woman;H802 She eateth,H398 and wipethH4229 her mouth,H6310 And saith,H559 I have doneH6466 no wickedness.H205
21 For threeH7969 things the earthH776 doth tremble,H7264 And for four,H702 [which] it cannotH3201 bear:H5375
22 For a servantH5650 when he is king;H4427 And a foolH5036 when he is filledH7646 with food;H3899
23 For an odiousH8130 woman when she is married;H1166 And a handmaidH8198 that is heirH3423 to her mistress.H1404
24 There are fourH702 things which are littleH6996 upon the earth,H776 But they are exceedingH2449 wise:H2450
25 The antsH5244 are a peopleH5971 not strong,H5794 Yet they provideH3559 their foodH3899 in the summer;H7019
26 The coniesH8227 are but a feebleH6099 folk,H5971 Yet makeH7760 they their housesH1004 in the rocks;H5553
27 The locustsH697 have no king,H4428 Yet go they forthH3318 all of them by bands;H2686
28 The lizardH8079 taketh holdH8610 with her hands,H3027 Yet is she in kings'H4428 palaces.H1964
29 There are threeH7969 things which are statelyH3190 in their march,H6806 Yea, fourH702 which are statelyH2895 in going:H3212
30 The lion,H3918 which is mightiestH1368 among beasts,H929 And turneth not awayH7725 forH6440 any;
31 The greyhound;H4975 The he-goatH8495 also;H176 And the kingH4428 against whom there is no rising up.H510
32 If thou hast done foolishlyH5034 in lifting upH5375 thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil,H2161 [Lay] thy handH3027 upon thy mouth.H6310
33 For the churningH4330 of milkH2461 bringeth forthH3318 butter,H2529 And the wringingH4330 of the noseH639 bringeth forthH3318 blood;H1818 So the forcingH4330 of wrathH639 bringeth forthH3318 strife.H7379
