Proverbs:30-31
nkjv@Proverbs:30:1 @ The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, his utterance. This man declared to Ithiel--to Ithiel and Ucal:
nkjv@Proverbs:30:2 @ Surely I am more stupid than any man, And do not have the understanding of a man.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:3 @ I neither learned wisdom Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:4 @ Who has ascended 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 you know?
nkjv@Proverbs:30:5 @ Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:6 @ Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:7 @ Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die):
nkjv@Proverbs:30:8 @ Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches-- Feed me with the food allotted to me;
nkjv@Proverbs:30:9 @ Lest I be full and deny You, And say, "Who is the LORD?" Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:10 @ Do not malign a servant to his master, Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:11 @ There is a generation that curses its father, And does not bless its mother.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:12 @ There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:13 @ There is a generation-- oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:14 @ There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, And whose fangs are like knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:15 @ The leech has two daughters-- Give and Give! There are three things that are never satisfied, Four never say, "Enough!":
nkjv@Proverbs:30:16 @ The grave, The barren womb, The earth that is not satisfied with water-- And the fire never says, "Enough!"
nkjv@Proverbs:30:17 @ The eye that mocks his father, And scorns obedience to his mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles will eat it.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:18 @ There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yes, four which I do not understand:
nkjv@Proverbs:30:19 @ The way of an eagle in the air, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the way of a man with a virgin.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:20 @ This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wickedness."
nkjv@Proverbs:30:21 @ For three things the earth is perturbed, Yes, for four it cannot bear up:
nkjv@Proverbs:30:22 @ For a servant when he reigns, A fool when he is filled with food,
nkjv@Proverbs:30:23 @ A hateful woman when she is married, And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:24 @ There are four things which are little on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise:
nkjv@Proverbs:30:25 @ The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
nkjv@Proverbs:30:26 @ The rock badgers are a feeble folk, Yet they make their homes in the crags;
nkjv@Proverbs:30:27 @ The locusts have no king, Yet they all advance in ranks;
nkjv@Proverbs:30:28 @ The spider skillfully grasps with its hands, And it is in kings' palaces.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:29 @ There are three things which are majestic in pace, Yes, four which are stately in walk:
nkjv@Proverbs:30:30 @ A lion, which is mighty among beasts And does not turn away from any;
nkjv@Proverbs:30:31 @ A greyhound, A male goat also, And a king whose troops are with him.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:32 @ If you have been foolish in exalting yourself, Or if you have devised evil, put your hand on your mouth.
nkjv@Proverbs:30:33 @ For as the churning of milk produces butter, And wringing the nose produces blood, So the forcing of wrath produces strife.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:1 @ The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him:
nkjv@Proverbs:31:2 @ What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows?
nkjv@Proverbs:31:3 @ Do not give your strength to women, Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:4 @ It is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine, Nor for princes intoxicating drink;
nkjv@Proverbs:31:5 @ Lest they drink and forget the law, And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:6 @ Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to those who are bitter of heart.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:7 @ Let him drink and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:8 @ Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:9 @ Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:10 @ Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:11 @ The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:12 @ She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:13 @ She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:14 @ She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:15 @ She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:16 @ She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:17 @ She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:18 @ She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:19 @ She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:20 @ She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:21 @ She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:22 @ She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:23 @ Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:24 @ She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:25 @ Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:26 @ She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:27 @ She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:28 @ Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:
nkjv@Proverbs:31:29 @ "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all."
nkjv@Proverbs:31:30 @ Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
nkjv@Proverbs:31:31 @ Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.
