Proverbs - Chapter: 30

>
30:1The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
30:2Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
30:3I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
30:4Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
30:5Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
30:6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
30:7Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
30:8Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
30:9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
30:10Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
30:11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
30:12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
30:13There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
30:14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
30:15The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
30:16The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
30:17The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
30:18There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
30:19The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
30:20Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
30:21For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
30:22For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
30:23For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
30:24There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
30:25The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
30:26The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
30:27The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
30:28The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
30:29There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30:30A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
30:31A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
30:32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
30:33Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

 

30:1THE WORDS OF AGUR THE SONNE OF JAKE The prophecie which ye man spake vnto Ithiel, euen to Ithiel, and Vcal.
30:2Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me.
30:3For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things.
30:4Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
30:5Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.
30:6Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.
30:7Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die.
30:8Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me,
30:9Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.
30:10Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended.
30:11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother.
30:12There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse.
30:13There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.
30:14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men.
30:15The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.
30:16The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough.
30:17The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.
30:18There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,
30:19The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.
30:20Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.
30:21For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:
30:22For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,
30:23For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.
30:24These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome:
30:25The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:
30:26The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:
30:27The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:
30:28The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.
30:29There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,
30:30A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:
30:31A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.
30:32If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
30:33When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.

 

30:1The wordes of Agur the sonne of Iakei, and the prophecie that the same man spake vnto Ithiel, euen vnto Ithiel, and Uchal:
30:2I am more foolysh then any man, and haue no mans vnderstandyng
30:3I neuer lerned wysdome, ner had knowledge of holy thynges.
30:4Who hath clymed vp into heauen? Who hath come doune from thence? Who hath holden the wynd fast in his hand? Who hath comprehended the waters in a garment? Who hath sett all the endes of the worlde? What is hys name, or his sonnes name? Canst thou tell
30:5all the wordes of God are pure and cleane, for he is a shylde vnto all them, that put theyr trust in hym.
30:6Put thou nothyng vnto hys wordes, lest he reproue the, and thou be founde a lyar.
30:7Two thynges haue I requyred of the, that thou wylt not denye me before I dye.

30:9Lest yf I be to full, I denye the, and saye: who is the Lorde? And lest I beinge constrayned thorow pouerte, fall vnto stealynge, and take the name of my God in vayne.
30:10Accuse not a seruaunt vnto hys master, lest he speake euell of the, and thou be hurte.

30:12There is a generacion that thynke them selues cleane, and yet is not clensed from theyr fylthynesse.
30:13There is a generacyon that hath a proude loke, & doth cast vp theyr eye lyddes.
30:14There is a generacion whose teth are swerdes, & with theyr chaw bones they consume & deuoure the symple of the earth, and the poore from amonge men.
30:15The horsleche hath two daughters cryeng: bryng hyther, bryng hyther.

30:21Thorow thre thynges the earth is dysquieted, & the fourth may it not beare:
30:22Thorow a seruaunt that beareth rule. Thorow a foole that hath to moche breed,
30:23thorow a wife worthy hatered when she is maryed, and thorow an hand mayden that is heyre to her mastres.
