30:1The words of Agur the sonne of Iakeh, euen the prophecy: The man spake vnto Ithiel, euen vnto Ithiel and Ucal.
30:2Surely I am more brutish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man.
30:3I neither learned wisedome, nor haue the knowledge of the holy.
30:4Who hath ascended vp into heauen, 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 sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
30:5Euery word of God is pure: he is a shield vnto them that put their trust in him.
30:6Adde thou not vnto his words, lest he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.
30:7Two things haue I required of thee, deny me them not before I die.
30:8Remoue farre from mee vanity, and lyes; giue me neither pouerty, nor riches, feede me with food conuenient for me.
30:9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest 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, and thou be found guilty.
30:11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not blesse their mother.
30:12There is a generation that are pure in their owne eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthinesse.
30:13There is a generation, O howe lofty are their eyes! and their eye-lids are lifted vp.
30:14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their iaw-teeth as kniues, to deuoure the poore from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
30:15The horse-leach hath two daughters, crying, Giue, giue. There are three things that are neuer satisfied, yea foure things say not, It is enough:
30:16The graue; and the barren wombe; 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 rauens of the valley shall picke it out, and the young Eagles shall eate it.
30:18There be three things which are too wonderfull for me; yea foure, which I know not:
30:19The way of an Eagle in the ayre; the way of a serpent vpon a rocke; the 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 haue done no wickednesse.
30:21For three things the earth is disquieted, and for foure which it cannot beare:
30:22For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when hee is filled with meate:
30:23For an odious woman when shee is married, and an handmayd that is heire to her mistresse.
30:24There be foure things which are little vpon the earth; but they are exceeding wise:
30:25The Ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meate in the summer.
30:26The conies are but a feeble folke, yet make they their houses in the rocks
30:27The locustes haue no king, yet goe 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 goe well, yea foure are comely in going:
30:30A lyon which is strongest among beastes, and turneth not away for any:
30:31A gray-hound; an hee-goate also; and a king, against whom there is no rising vp.
30:32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting vp thy selfe, or if thou hast thought euill, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
30:33Surely the churning of milke bringeth forth butter; and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

 

30:1And the prophecie that the same man spake vnto Ithiel, euen vnto Ithiel and Uchal

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.

30:13There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.

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.

30:26The 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.
