Proverbs 30:1-26

30:1

The words
<01697>

of Agur
<094>

the son
<01121>

of Jakeh
<03348>_,

[even] the prophecy
<04853>_:

the man
<01397>

spake
<05002> (8803)

unto Ithiel
<0384>_,

even unto Ithiel
<0384>

and Ucal
<0401>_,

30:2

Surely I [am] more brutish
<01198>

than [any] man
<0376>_,

and have not the understanding
<0998>

of a man
<0120>_.

30:3

I neither learned
<03925> (8804)

wisdom
<02451>_,

nor have
<03045> (8799)

the knowledge
<01847>

of the holy
<06918>_.

{have: Heb. know}

30:4

Who hath ascended up
<05927> (8804)

into heaven
<08064>_,

or descended
<03381> (8799)_?

who hath gathered
<0622> (8804)

the wind
<07307>

in his fists
<02651>_?

who hath bound
<06887> (8804)

the waters
<04325>

in a garment
<08071>_?

who hath established
<06965> (8689)

all the ends
<0657>

of the earth
<0776>_?

what [is] his name
<08034>_,

and what [is] his son's
<01121>

name
<08034>_,

if thou canst tell
<03045> (8799)_?

30:5

Every word
<0565>

of God
<0433>

[is] pure
<06884> (8803)_:

he [is] a shield
<04043>

unto them that put their trust
<02620> (8802)

in him. {pure: Heb. purified}

30:6

Add
<03254> (8686)

thou not unto his words
<01697>_,

lest he reprove
<03198> (8686)

thee, and thou be found a liar
<03576> (8738)_.

30:7

Two
<08147>

[things] have I required
<07592> (8804)

of thee; deny
<04513> (8799)

me [them] not before I die
<04191> (8799)_:

{deny...: Heb. withhold not from me}

30:8

Remove far
<07368> (8685)

from me vanity
<07723>

and lies
<01697> <03577>_:

give
<05414> (8799)

me neither poverty
<07389>

nor riches
<06239>_;

feed
<02963> (8685)

me with food
<03899>

convenient
<02706>

for me: {convenient...: Heb. of my allowance}

30:9

Lest I be full
<07646> (8799)_,

and deny
<03584> (8765)

[thee], and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Who [is] the LORD
<03068>_?

or lest I be poor
<03423> (8735)_,

and steal
<01589> (8804)_,

and take
<08610> (8804)

the name
<08034>

of my God
<0430>

[in vain]. {deny...: Heb. belie thee}

30:10

Accuse
<03960> (8686)

not a servant
<05650>

unto his master
<0113>_,

lest he curse
<07043> (8762)

thee, and thou be found guilty
<0816> (8804)_.

{Accuse...: Heb. Hurt not with thy tongue}

30:11

[There is] a generation
<01755>

[that] curseth
<07043> (8762)

their father
<01>_,

and doth not bless
<01288> (8762)

their mother
<0517>_.

30:12

[There is] a generation
<01755>

[that are] pure
<02889>

in their own eyes
<05869>_,

and [yet] is not washed
<07364> (8795)

from their filthiness
<06675>_.

30:13

[There is] a generation
<01755>_,

O how lofty
<07311> (8804)

are their eyes
<05869>_!

and their eyelids
<06079>

are lifted up
<05375> (8735)_.

30:14

[There is] a generation
<01755>_,

whose teeth
<08127>

[are as] swords
<02719>_,

and their jaw teeth
<04973>

[as] knives
<03979>_,

to devour
<0398> (8800)

the poor
<06041>

from off the earth
<0776>_,

and the needy
<034>

from [among] men
<0120>_.

30:15

The horseleach
<05936>

hath two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_,

[crying], Give
<03051> (8798)_,

give
<03051> (8798)_.

There are three
<07969>

[things that] are never satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,

[yea], four
<0702>

[things] say
<0559> (8804)

not, [It is] enough
<01952>_:

{It is...: Heb. Wealth}

30:16

The grave
<07585>_;

and the barren
<06115>

womb
<07356>_;

the earth
<0776>

[that] is not filled
<07646> (8804)

with water
<04325>_;

and the fire
<0784>

[that] saith
<0559> (8804)

not, [It is] enough
<01952>_.

30:17

The eye
<05869>

[that] mocketh
<03932> (8799)

at [his] father
<01>_,

and despiseth
<0936> (8799)

to obey
<03349>

[his] mother
<0517>_,

the ravens
<06158>

of the valley
<05158>

shall pick it out
<05365> (8799)_,

and the young
<01121>

eagles
<05404>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

it. {the valley: or, the brook}

30:18

There be three
<07969>

[things which] are too wonderful
<06381> (8738)

for me, yea, four
<0702>

which I know
<03045> (8804)

not:

30:19

The way
<01870>

of an eagle
<05404>

in the air
<08064>_;

the way
<01870>

of a serpent
<05175>

upon a rock
<06697>_;

the way
<01870>

of a ship
<0591>

in the midst
<03820>

of the sea
<03220>_;

and the way
<01870>

of a man
<01397>

with a maid
<05959>_.

{midst: Heb. heart}

30:20

Such [is] the way
<01870>

of an adulterous
<05003> (8764)

woman
<0802>_;

she eateth
<0398> (8804)_,

and wipeth
<04229> (8804)

her mouth
<06310>_,

and saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I have done
<06466> (8804)

no wickedness
<0205>_.

30:21

For three
<07969>

[things] the earth
<0776>

is disquieted
<07264> (8804)_,

and for four
<0702>

[which] it cannot
<03201> (8799)

bear
<05375> (8800)_:

30:22

For a servant
<05650>

when he reigneth
<04427> (8799)_;

and a fool
<05036>

when he is filled
<07646> (8799)

with meat
<03899>_;

30:23

For an odious
<08130> (8803)

[woman] when she is married
<01166> (8735)_;

and an handmaid
<08198>

that is heir
<03423> (8799)

to her mistress
<01404>_.

30:24

There be four
<0702>

[things which are] little
<06996>

upon the earth
<0776>_,

but they [are] exceeding
<02449> (8794)

wise
<02450>_:

{exceeding...: Heb. wise, made wise}

30:25

The ants
<05244>

[are] a people
<05971>

not strong
<05794>_,

yet they prepare
<03559> (8686)

their meat
<03899>

in the summer
<07019>_;

30:26

The conies
<08227>

[are but] a feeble
<06099>

folk
<05971>_,

yet make
<07760> (8799)

they their houses
<01004>

in the rocks
<05553>_;
