Proverbs 30 : 1 (HCSB)
The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle. The man's oration to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
Proverbs 30 : 2 (HCSB)
I am the least intelligent of men, and I lack man's ability to understand.
Proverbs 30 : 3 (HCSB)
I have not gained wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.
Proverbs 30 : 4 (HCSB)
Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son-- if you know?
Proverbs 30 : 5 (HCSB)
Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Proverbs 30 : 6 (HCSB)
Don't add to His words, or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
Proverbs 30 : 7 (HCSB)
Two things I ask of You; don't deny them to me before I die:
Proverbs 30 : 8 (HCSB)
Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor wealth; feed me with the food I need.
Proverbs 30 : 9 (HCSB)
Otherwise, I might have too much and deny You, saying, "Who is the LORD?" or I might have nothing and steal, profaning the name of my God.
Proverbs 30 : 10 (HCSB)
Don't slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will become guilty.
Proverbs 30 : 11 (HCSB)
There is a generation that curses its father and does not bless its mother.
Proverbs 30 : 12 (HCSB)
There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, yet is not washed from its filth.
Proverbs 30 : 13 (HCSB)
There is a generation-- how haughty its eyes and pretentious its looks.
Proverbs 30 : 14 (HCSB)
There is a generation whose teeth are swords, whose fangs are knives, devouring the oppressed from the land and the needy from among mankind.
Proverbs 30 : 15 (HCSB)
The leech has two daughters: Give, Give. Three things are never satisfied; four never say, "Enough!":
Proverbs 30 : 16 (HCSB)
Sheol; a barren womb; earth, which is never satisfied with water; and fire, which never says, "Enough!"
Proverbs 30 : 17 (HCSB)
As for the eye that ridicules a father and despises obedience to a mother, may ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures eat it.
Proverbs 30 : 18 (HCSB)
Three things are beyond me; four I can't understand:
Proverbs 30 : 19 (HCSB)
the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a young woman.
Proverbs 30 : 20 (HCSB)
This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, "I've done nothing wrong."
Proverbs 30 : 21 (HCSB)
The earth trembles under three things; it cannot bear up under four:
Proverbs 30 : 22 (HCSB)
a servant when he becomes king, a fool when he is stuffed with food,
Proverbs 30 : 23 (HCSB)
an unloved woman when she marries, and a serving girl when she ousts her lady.
Proverbs 30 : 24 (HCSB)
Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:
Proverbs 30 : 25 (HCSB)
the ants are not a strong people, yet they store up their food in the summer;
Proverbs 30 : 26 (HCSB)
hyraxes are not a mighty people, yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
Proverbs 30 : 27 (HCSB)
locusts have no king, yet all of them march in ranks;
Proverbs 30 : 28 (HCSB)
a lizard can be caught in your hands, yet it lives in kings' palaces.
Proverbs 30 : 29 (HCSB)
Three things are stately in their stride, even four are stately in their walk:
Proverbs 30 : 30 (HCSB)
a lion, which is mightiest among beasts and doesn't retreat before anything,
Proverbs 30 : 31 (HCSB)
a strutting rooster, a goat, and a king at the head of his army.
Proverbs 30 : 32 (HCSB)
If you have been foolish by exalting yourself, or if you've been scheming, put your hand over your mouth.
Proverbs 30 : 33 (HCSB)
For the churning of milk produces butter, and twisting a nose draws blood, and stirring up anger produces strife.
