30 The words of Agur son of Jakeh, the burden:
The declaration of the strong man to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
2 Surely, I am more stupid than a man,
and the understanding of man is not mine.
3 And I have not learned wisdom,
nor the knowledge of holy ones do I know.
4 Who has ascended to heaven and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of his hands?
Who has wrapped waters in the cloak?
Who has raised up all the ends of the earth?
What is his name and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
5 Every saying of God is refined;
he is a shield for those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add upon his words,
lest he rebuke you and you be shown a liar.
7 Two things I ask from with you,
do not withhold from me before I die:
8 Emptiness and the word of a lie put far away from me.
Do not give to me poverty or riches,
cause me to receive the bread of my portion.
9 Lest I be satiated and I deny and say, “Who is Yahweh?”
And lest I become dispossessed and steal
and I seize the name of my God.
10 Do not slander a slave to his master,
lest he curse you and you be found guilty.
11 There is a generation, it curses its father
and does not bless its mother.
12 There is a generation clean in its eyes,
but it is not washed from its excrement.
13 There is a generation, how its eyes are raised up,
and its eyelids are lifted up!
14 There is a generation, its teeth are swords
and its fangs are knives
for devouring afflicted ones from the earth and needy ones from man.
15 Two daughters are for the leech, “Give! Give!”
There are three, they are not satisfied;
four, they do not say, “Enough”:
16 Sheol, and the closure of the womb,
a land not satisfied with water,
and a fire does not say, “Enough!”
17 An eye mocks a father
and shows contempt for the obedience to a mother;
the ravens of the valley will peck it out,
and the sons of the vulture will eat it.
18 Three things, they are too wonderful for me,
and four, I do not understand them:
19 the way of the eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship in the heart of the sea;
and the way of a young man with a young woman.
20 Thus is the way of a woman who commits adultery:
she eats and wipes her mouth
and says, “I have not done iniquity.”
21 Under three things the earth quakes,
and under four it is not able to hold up:
22 under a slave when he becomes king,
and a worthless one when he is satisfied with bread,
23 under a hated woman when she is married,
and a female servant when she dispossesses her mistress.
24 Four things, they are small things of the earth
but they are wise things being made wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong,
but they prepare their food in the summer.
26 Rock badgers are a people not mighty,
but they set their house in the cliff.
27 There is no king for the locust,
but each of it go out divided into groups.
28 You can catch a lizard with hands,
yet it is in the palaces of the king.
29 Three things, they are doing well of step,
and four are doing well of walking:
30 a lion, mighty among the animals,
and it will not turn away from the face of anything,
31 one girded of loins, or a male goat,
and a king against whom one does not rise up.
32 If you have been foolish by lifting up yourself,
or if you have schemed, a hand be to mouth!
33 For the squeezing of milk brings out butter
and the squeezing of the nose brings out blood,
and the squeezing of nostrils brings out strife.
