rsv@Proverbs:30:1 @ The words of Agur son of Jakeh of Massa. The man says to Ith'i-el, to Ith'i-el and Ucal:

rsv@Proverbs:30:2 @ Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.

rsv@Proverbs:30:3 @ I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.

rsv@Proverbs:30:4 @ Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!

rsv@Proverbs:30:5 @ Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

rsv@Proverbs:30:6 @ Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

rsv@Proverbs:30:7 @ Two things I ask of thee; deny them not to me before I die:

rsv@Proverbs:30:8 @ Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me,

rsv@Proverbs:30:9 @ lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, "Who is the LORD?" or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God.

rsv@Proverbs:30:10 @ Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

rsv@Proverbs:30:11 @ There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.

rsv@Proverbs:30:12 @ There are those who are pure in their own eyes but are not cleansed of their filth.

rsv@Proverbs:30:13 @ There are those--how lofty are their eyes, how high their eyelids lift!

rsv@Proverbs:30:14 @ There are those whose teeth are swords, whose teeth are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among men.

rsv@Proverbs:30:15 @ The leech has two daughters; "Give, give," they cry. Three things are never satisfied; four never say, "Enough":

rsv@Proverbs:30:16 @ Sheol, the barren womb, the earth ever thirsty for water, and the fire which never says, "Enough."

rsv@Proverbs:30:17 @ The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be picked out by the ravens of the valley and eaten by the vultures.

rsv@Proverbs:30:18 @ Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand:

rsv@Proverbs:30:19 @ the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden.

rsv@Proverbs:30:20 @ This is the way of an adulteress: she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, "I have done no wrong."

rsv@Proverbs:30:21 @ Under three things the earth trembles; under four it cannot bear up:

rsv@Proverbs:30:22 @ a slave when he becomes king, and a fool when he is filled with food;

rsv@Proverbs:30:23 @ an unloved woman when she gets a husband, and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.

rsv@Proverbs:30:24 @ Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise:

rsv@Proverbs:30:25 @ the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;

rsv@Proverbs:30:26 @ the badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the rocks;

rsv@Proverbs:30:27 @ the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank;

rsv@Proverbs:30:28 @ the lizard you can take in your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.

rsv@Proverbs:30:29 @ Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride:

rsv@Proverbs:30:30 @ the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any;

rsv@Proverbs:30:31 @ the strutting cock, the he-goat, and a king striding before his people.

rsv@Proverbs:30:32 @ If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth.

rsv@Proverbs:30:33 @ For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.
