Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠לֹֽא־לָמַ֥דְתִּי חָכְמָ֑ה וְ⁠דַ֖עַת קְדֹשִׁ֣ים אֵדָֽע

and=not learned wisdom and,knowledge holy have

Agur says these two clauses as extreme statements for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “And I feel like I have not learned wisdom, nor the knowledge of holy ones do I know”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חָכְמָ֑ה וְ⁠דַ֖עַת

wisdom and,knowledge

See how you translated the abstract nouns wisdom in 1:2 and knowledge in 1:4.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

קְדֹשִׁ֣ים

holy

Here, holy ones could refer to: (1) Yahweh as the Holy One, in which case the plural form is used to emphasize his greatness. Alternate translation: “the Holy One” (2) heavenly beings, including God and angels. Alternate translation: “holy beings”
