Proverbs 30 (KJV)   The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the
man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, {2} Surely I am more brutish
than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. {3} I neither learned
wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. {4} Who hath ascended up into
heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound
the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what
is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? {5} Every word of
God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. {6} Add
thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
{7} Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
{8} Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me: {9} Lest I be full, and deny thee, and
say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my
God in vain. {10} Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee,
and thou be found guilty. {11} There is a generation that curseth their
father, and doth not bless their mother. {12} There is a generation that are
pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
{13} There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are
lifted up. {14} There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their
jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from
among men. {15} The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There
are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is
enough: {16} The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with
water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough. {17} The eye that mocketh at
his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall
pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. {18} There be three things
which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: {19} The way of an
eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the
midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. {20} Such is the way of an
adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no
wickedness. {21} For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which
it cannot bear: {22} For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is
filled with meat; {23} For an odious woman when she is married; and an
handmaid that is heir to her mistress. {24} There be four things which are
little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: {25} The ants are a people
not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; {26} The conies are but
a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; {27} The locusts have
no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; {28} The spider taketh hold
with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. {29} There be three things which go
well, yea, four are comely in going: {30} A lion which is strongest among
beasts, and turneth not away for any; {31} A greyhound; an he goat also; and a
king, against whom there is no rising up. {32} If thou hast done foolishly in
lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy
mouth. {33} Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the
wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth
forth strife.
