The Words of Agur

The Words of Agur

30[These are] the words of Agur son of Jakeh—the burden that this man declared to Ithiel: “I am weary, O God, and worn out.[fn]

2Surely I [am] the most ignorant of men, and I lack the understanding of a man

3I have not learned wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.

4Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son—surely you know!

5Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

6Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.

7Two things I ask of You—do not refuse me before I die:

8Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.

9Otherwise, I may have too much and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, profaning the name of my God.

10Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will bear the guilt.

11There is a generation of those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.

12There is a generation of those who are pure in their own eyes and yet unwashed of their filth.

13There is a generation—how haughty are their eyes and pretentious are their glances—

14there is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are knives, devouring the oppressed from the earth and the needy from [among] men.

15The leech has two daughters: Give [and] Give. There are three [things that] are never satisfied, four [that] never say, ‘Enough!’:

17As for the eye [that] mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, may the ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures devour it.

18There are three [things] too wonderful for me, four that I cannot understand:

20This is the way of an adulteress She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’

21Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:

24Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise:

29There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:

32If you have foolishly exalted yourself or if you have plotted evil, put your hand over your mouth.

33For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”


30:1 Or declared to Ithiel: “I am weary, O God, but I can prevail. (revocalizations); Hebrew declared to Ithiel—to Ithiel and Ucal:

30:26 Or the coneys or the hyraxes

30:31 Or a king against whom there is no rising up
