Proverbs 30

Proverbs 30:1-7

The Words of Agur

30:1 The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle.1


  The man declares, I am weary, O God;
    I am weary, O God, and worn out.2
  Surely I am too stupid to be a man.
    I have not the understanding of a man.
  I have not learned wisdom,
    nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.
  Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
    Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
  Who has wrapped up 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?
    Surely you know!


  Every word of God proves true;
    he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
  Do not add to his words,
    lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.


  Two things I ask of you;
    deny them not to me before I die:
