The Words of Agur
1 The words H1697 of Agur H94 the son H1121 of Jakeh H3348, the pronouncement H4853.
The man H1397 declares H5002 to Ithiel H384, to Ithiel H384 and Ucal H401:
2 I am certainly H3588 more H4480 stupid H1198 than H4480 any H376 man H376,
And I do not have the understanding H998 of a man H120;
3 Nor H3808 have I learned H3925 wisdom H2451,
Nor H3808 do I have H3045 the knowledge H1847 of the Holy H6918 One H6918.
4 Who H4310 has ascended H5927 into heaven H8064 and descended H3381?
Who H4310 has gathered H622 the wind H7307 in His fists H2651?
Who H4310 has wrapped H6887 the waters H4325 in [fn]His garment H8071?
Who H4310 has established H6965 all H3605 the ends H657 of the earth H776?
What H4100 is His name H8034 or His [fn]Son’s H1121 name H8034?
5 Every H3605 word H565 of God H433 is [fn]pure H6884;
He is a shield H4043 to those who take H2620 refuge H2620 in Him.
6 Do not add H3254 to His words H1697
Or H6435 He will rebuke H3198 you, and you will be proved H3576 a H3576 liar H3576.
7 Two H8147 things H8147 I have asked H7592 of You;
Do not refuse H4513 me before H2962 I die H4191:
8 Keep H7368 deception H7723 and [fn]lies H3577 far H7368 from me,
Give H5414 me neither H408 poverty H7389 nor H408 riches H6239;
Feed H2963 me with the food H3899 that is my portion H2706,
9 So H6435 that H6435 I will not H6435 be H7646 full H7646 and deny H3584 You and say H559, “Who H4310 is the LORD H3068?”
And that H6435 I will not H6435 become H3423 impoverished H3423 and steal H1589,
And profane H8610 the name H8034 of my God H430.
10 Do not slander H3960 a slave H5650 to his master H113,
Or H6435 he will curse H7043 you and you will be found H816 guilty H816.
11 There is a [fn]kind H1755 of person who curses H7043 his father H1
And does not bless H1288 his mother H517.
12 There is a [fn]kind H1755 who is pure H2889 in his own eyes H5869,
Yet is not washed H7364 from his filthiness H6675.
13 There is a [fn]kind H1755—oh how H4100 lofty H7311 are H7311 his eyes H5869!
And his eyelids H6079 are raised H5375 in arrogance.
14 There is a [fn]kind H1755 of person whose teeth H8127 are like swords H2719
And his jaw H4973 teeth H4973 like knives H3979,
To devour H398 the poor H6041 from the earth H776
And the needy H34 from among mankind H120.
15 The leech H5936 has two H8147 daughters H1323:
“Give H3051” and “Give H3051.”
There H1992 are three H7969 things H7969 that will not be H7646 satisfied H7646,
Four H702 that will not say H559, “Enough H1952”:
16 [fn]Sheol H7585, the infertile H6115 womb H7358,
Earth H776 that is H7646 never H3808 satisfied H7646 with water H4325,
And fire H784 that never H3808 says H559, “Enough H1952.”
17 The eye H5869 that mocks H3932 a father H1
And [fn]scorns H936 H3349 a mother H517,
The ravens H6158 of the valley H5158 will pick H5365 it out H5365,
And the young H1121 eagles H5404 will eat H398 it.
18 There H1992 are three H7969 things H7969 which are H6381 too H4480 wonderful H6381 for me,
Four H702 which I do not understand H3045:
19 The way H1870 of the eagle H5404 in the sky H8064,
The way H1870 of a snake H5175 on a rock H6697,
The way H1870 of a ship H591 in the middle H3820 of the sea H3220,
And the way H1870 of a man H1397 with a [fn]virgin H5959.
20 This H3651 is the way H1870 of an adulterous H5003 woman H802:
She eats H398 and wipes H4229 her mouth H6310,
And says H559, “I have done H6466 no H3808 wrong H205.”
21 Under H8478 three H7969 things H7969 the earth H776 quakes H7264,
And under H8478 four H702, it cannot H3201 H3808 endure H5375:
22 Under H8478 a slave H5650 when H3588 he becomes H4427 king H4427,
And a fool H5036 when H3588 he is H7646 satisfied H7646 with food H3899,
23 Under H8478 an unloved H8130 woman when H3588 she gets H1166 a H1166 husband H1166,
And a female H8198 servant H8198 when H3588 she dispossesses H3423 her mistress H1404.
24 Four H702 things H702 are small H6996 on the earth H776,
But they are exceedingly H2449 wise H2450:
25 The ants H5244 are not a strong H5794 people H5971,
But they prepare H3559 their food H3899 in the summer H7019;
26 The rock H8227 hyraxes H8227 are not a mighty H6099 people H5971,
Yet they make H7760 their houses H1004 in the rocks H5553;
27 The locusts H697 have H369 no H369 king H4428,
Yet all H3605 of them go H3318 out H3318 in H2686 ranks H2686;
28 The lizard H8079 you may grasp H8610 with the hands H3027,
Yet it is in kings’ H4428 palaces H1964.
29 There H1992 are three H7969 things H7969 which are stately H3190 in their march H6806,
Even four H702 which are stately H3190 when they walk H1980:
30 The lion H3918, which is mighty H1368 among animals H929
And does not [fn]retreat H7725 from anything H3605,
31 The [fn]strutting H2223 H4975 rooster H2223 or H176 the male H8495 goat H8495,
And a king H4428 when his army H510 is with him.
32 If H518 you have been H5034 foolish H5034 in exalting H5375 yourself,
Or if H518 you have plotted H2161 evil, put your hand H3027 on your mouth H6310.
33 For the [fn]churning H4330 of milk H2461 produces H3318 butter H2529,
And pressing H4330 the nose H639 produces H3318 blood H1818;
So the [fn]churning H4330 of anger H639 produces H3318 strife H7379.
