Proverbs 30
The wordsH1697 of AgurH94 the sonH1121 of JakehH3348; The oracleH4853. The manH1397 saithH5002 unto IthielH384, unto IthielH384 and UcalH401:
Surely I am more brutishH1198 than any manH376, And have not the understandingH998 of a manH120;
And I have not learnedH3925 wisdomH2451, Neither haveH3045 I the knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918 One.
Who hath ascended upH5927 into heavenH8064, and descendedH3381? Who hath gatheredH622 the windH7307 in his fistsH2651? Who hath boundH6887 the watersH4325 in his garmentH8071? Who hath establishedH6965 all the endsH657 of the earthH776? What is his nameH8034, and what is his son'sH1121 nameH8034, if thou knowestH3045?
Every wordH565 of GodH433 is triedH6884: He is a shieldH4043 unto them that take refugeH2620 in him.
AddH3254 thou not unto his wordsH1697, Lest he reproveH3198 thee, and thou be found a liarH3576.
TwoH8147 things have I askedH7592 of thee; DenyH4513 me them not before I dieH4191:
Remove farH7368 from me falsehoodH7723 and liesH1697; GiveH5414 me neither povertyH7389 nor richesH6239; FeedH2963 me with the foodH3899 that is needfulH2706 for me:
Lest I be fullH7646, and denyH3584 thee, and sayH559, Who is JehovahH3068? Or lest I be poorH3423, and stealH1589, And use profanelyH8610 the nameH8034 of my GodH430.
SlanderH3960 not a servantH5650 unto his masterH113, Lest he curseH7043 thee, and thou be held guiltyH816.
There is a generationH1755 that curseH7043 their fatherH1, And blessH1288 not their motherH517.
There is a generationH1755 that are pureH2889 in their own eyesH5869, And yet are not washedH7364 from their filthinessH6675.
There is a generationH1755, oh how loftyH7311 are their eyesH5869! And their eyelidsH6079 are lifted upH5375.
There is a generationH1755 whose teethH8127 are as swordsH2719, and their jaw teethH4973 as knivesH3979, To devourH398 the poorH6041 from off the earthH776, and the needyH34 from among menH120.
The horseleachH5936 hath twoH8147 daughtersH1323, crying, GiveH3051, giveH3051. There are threeH7969 things that are never satisfiedH7646, Yea, fourH702 that sayH559 not, EnoughH1952:
SheolH7585; And the barrenH6115 wombH7356; The earthH776 that is not satisfiedH7646 with waterH4325; And the fireH784 that saithH559 not, EnoughH1952.
The eyeH5869 that mockethH3932 at his fatherH1, And despisethH936 to obeyH3349 his motherH517, The ravensH6158 of the valleyH5158 shall pick it outH5365, And the youngH1121 eaglesH5404 shall eatH398 it.
There are threeH7969 things which are too wonderfulH6381 for me, Yea, fourH702 which I knowH3045 not:
The wayH1870 of an eagleH5404 in the airH8064; The wayH1870 of a serpentH5175 upon a rockH6697; The wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the midstH3820 of the seaH3220; And the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a maidenH5959.
So is the wayH1870 of an adulterousH5003 womanH802; She eatethH398, and wipethH4229 her mouthH6310, And saithH559, I have doneH6466 no wickednessH205.
For threeH7969 things the earthH776 doth trembleH7264, And for fourH702, which it cannotH3201 bearH5375:
For a servantH5650 when he is kingH4427; And a foolH5036 when he is filledH7646 with foodH3899;
For an odiousH8130 woman when she is marriedH1166; And a handmaidH8198 that is heirH3423 to her mistressH1404.
There are fourH702 things which are littleH6996 upon the earthH776, But they are exceedingH2449 wiseH2450:
The antsH5244 are a peopleH5971 not strongH5794, Yet they provideH3559 their foodH3899 in the summerH7019;
The coniesH8227 are but a feebleH6099 folkH5971, Yet makeH7760 they their housesH1004 in the rocksH5553;
The locustsH697 have no kingH4428, Yet go they forthH3318 all of them by bandsH2686;
The lizardH8079 taketh holdH8610 with her handsH3027, Yet is she in kingsH4428' palacesH1964.
There are threeH7969 things which are statelyH3190 in their marchH6806, Yea, fourH702 which are statelyH2895 in goingH3212:
The lionH3918, which is mightiestH1368 among beastsH929, And turneth not awayH7725 forH6440 any;
The greyhoundH4975; The he-goatH8495 alsoH176; And the kingH4428 against whom there is no rising upH510.
If thou hast done foolishlyH5034 in lifting upH5375 thyself, Or if thou hast thought evilH2161, Lay thy handH3027 upon thy mouthH6310.
For the churningH4330 of milkH2461 bringeth forthH3318 butterH2529, And the wringingH4330 of the noseH639 bringeth forthH3318 bloodH1818; So the forcingH4330 of wrathH639 bringeth forthH3318 strifeH7379.
