Proverbs 30:1-33 Wisdom of Agur
Proverbs 30:5-6
5
Every word of God is pure (tested, refined, found pure);
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6
Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
Proverbs 30:7-9
7
Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
8
Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
Feed me with the food allotted to me;
9
Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.
Proverbs 30:15-16
15
The leech has two daughters—
Give and Give!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:
16
The grave,
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”
Proverbs 30:17
17
The eye that mocks his father,
And scorns obedience to his mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young eagles will eat it.
Proverbs 30:18-19
18
There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Yes, four which I do not understand:
19
The way of an eagle in the air,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
And the way of a man with a virgin.
Proverbs 30:20
20
This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,
And says, “I have done no wickedness.”
Proverbs 30:21-23
21
For three things the earth is perturbed,
Yes, for four it cannot bear up:
22
For a servant when he reigns,
A fool when he is filled with food,
23
A hateful woman when she is married,
And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.
Proverbs 30:24-28
24
There are four things which are little on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:
25
The ants are a people not strong,
Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26
The rock badgers are a feeble folk,
Yet they make their homes in the crags;
27
The locusts have no king,
Yet they all advance in ranks;
28
The spider skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings’ palaces.
Proverbs 30:29-31
29
There are three things which are majestic in pace,
Yes, four which are stately in walk:
30
A lion, which is mighty among beasts
And does not turn away from any;
31
A greyhound,
A male goat also,
And a king whose troops are with him.
Proverbs 30:32-33
32
If you have been foolish in exalting yourself,
Or if you have devised evil, put your hand on your mouth.
33
For as the churning of milk produces butter,
And wringing the nose produces blood,
So the forcing of wrath produces strife.
