* The words of Agur the son of Jakeh , [even ] the prophecy : the man spoke unto Ithiel , even unto Ithiel and Ucal , * Surely I [am ] more carnal than [any ] man and have not the understanding of a man . * I neither learned wisdom nor have the knowledge of the holy . * Who has ascended up into heaven , or descended ? who has gathered the wind in his fists ? who has bound 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 , if thou canst tell ? * Every word of God [is ] pure : he [is ] a shield unto those that put their trust in him . * Do not add unto his words , lest he reprove thee , and thou be found a liar . * Two [things ] have I required of thee ; do not deny me [them ] before I die : * Remove far from me vanity and lies : give me neither poverty nor riches ; feed me with the bread of my judgment : * Lest I be full , and deny [thee ], and say , Who [is ] the LORD ? or lest I be poor , and steal , and blaspheme the name of my God . * Do not accuse a servant in the presence of his master , lest he curse thee , and thou be found guilty . * [There is ] a generation [that ] curses their father , and does not bless their mother . * [There is ] a generation [that are ] pure in their own eyes , and [yet ] is not washed from their filthiness . * [There is ] a generation , O how lofty are their eyes ! and their eyelids are lifted up . * [There is ] a generation , whose teeth [are as ] swords , and their molars [as ] knives , to devour the poor from off the earth , and the destitute from [among ] men . * The horseleach has two daughters , [which are called ], Give , give . There are three [things that ] are never satisfied , [yea ], four [things ] say not , [It is ] enough : * Sheol ; and the barren womb ; the earth [that ] is not filled with water ; and the fire [that ] never says , [It is ] enough . * The eye [that ] mocks at [his ] father , and despises the teaching of [his ] mother , the ravens shall pluck it out of the river , and the young eagles shall eat it . * There are three [things which ] are hidden from me , [yea ], four which I know not : * The track of the eagle in the air ; the track of the serpent upon the rock ; the track of the ship in the midst of the sea ; and the track of the man in the maid . * Such [is ] the track of an adulterous woman ; she eats , and wipes her mouth , and says , I have done no wickedness . * For three [things ] the earth is disquieted , and the fourth it cannot bear : * For a servant when he reigns ; and a fool when he is filled with bread ; * for a rejected [woman ] when she is married ; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress . * There are four [things which are ] little upon the earth , but they [are ] wiser than the wise men : * The ants [are ] a people not strong , yet they prepare their food in the summer ; * the conies [are but ] a feeble folk , yet they make their houses in the rocks ; * the locusts have no king , yet all of them go forth by bands ; * the spider takes hold with her hands and is in kings ' palaces . * There are three [things ] which have a magnificent walk ; [yea ], the fourth is stately in going : * The lion [which is ] strongest among beasts and does not turn away for any ; * [the greyhound ] who is girded up of loins ; a he goat also , and the king , against whom no one rises up . * If thou hast fallen , it is because thou hast lifted thyself up ; and if thou hast thought evil , [lay ] thine hand upon thy mouth . * Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood ; so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife .:
