Wise sayings from Agur
30 These are sayings/messages that God gave to Agur, the son of Jakeh.
Agur wrote them for Ithiel and Ucal.
2 It seems that I am very stupid;
I do not deserve to be considered to be a human;
I do not have the good sense that humans should have.
3 I have not learned how to become wise
and I do not know much about God.
4 But let me say this:
No one [RHQ] has ascended to heaven to find out what God is like and returned to tell us.
No one [RHQ] has gathered/held the wind in his hand.
No one [RHQ] has wrapped the water in the ocean in a piece of cloth,
and no one [RHQ] has established the boundaries of the earth.
If you know who has done those things, tell me [RHQ] his name, and the names of his children [SAR]!
But you do not know who has done those things, so you cannot speak with authority about what God is like.
5 Everything that God has said is true;
he is like a shield [MET] for all those who request him to protect them.
6 Do not add to (OR, change) what God has said;
if you do that, he will rebuke you and show that you are lying.
7 God, I ask you to do two things for me;
please do them before I die:
8 Help me never to lie or deceive people
and do not cause me to become poor or to become rich.
Just give me the food that I need;
9 because if I become rich,
I might say that I do not [RHQ] know you and that I do not need you;
and if I become poor,
I might dishonor you by stealing things.
