Proverbs 30

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the oracle.

Surely I am more brutish than any man,

And I have not learned wisdom,

Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended?

Every word of God is tried:

Add thou not unto his words,

Two things have I asked of thee;

Remove far from me falsehood and lies;

Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah?

Slander not a servant unto his master,

There is a generation that curse their father,

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes,

There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes!

There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives,

The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.

Sheol; and the barren womb;

The eye that mocketh at his father,

There are three things which are too wonderful for me,

The way of an eagle in the air;

So is the way of an adulterous woman;

For three things the earth doth tremble,

For a servant when he is king;

For an odious woman when she is married;

There are four things which are little upon the earth,

The ants are a people not strong,

The conies are but a feeble folk,

The locusts have no king,

The lizard taketh hold with her hands,

There are three things which are stately in their march,

The lion, which is mightiest among beasts,

The greyhound; the he-goat also;

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,

For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,
