Proverbs 30 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

The Words of Agur

Pro 30:1Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the declaration, an affirmation of the man: -- I have wearied myself for God, I have wearied myself for God, and am consumed.

Pro 30:2

Pro 30:2For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man.

Pro 30:3

Pro 30:3Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know.

Pro 30:4

Pro 30:4Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What is His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

Pro 30:5

Pro 30:5Every saying of God is tried, A shield He is to those trusting in Him.

Pro 30:6

Pro 30:6Add not to His words, lest He reason with thee, And thou hast been found false.

Pro 30:7

Pro 30:7Two things I have asked from Thee, Withhold not from me before I die.

Pro 30:8

Pro 30:8Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,

Pro 30:9

Pro 30:9Lest I become satiated, and have denied, And have said, 'Who is Jehovah?' And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of the name of my God.

Pro 30:10

Pro 30:10Accuse not a servant unto his lord, Lest he disesteem thee, and thou be found guilty.

Pro 30:11

Pro 30:11A generation is, that lightly esteemeth their father, And their mother doth not bless.

Pro 30:12

Pro 30:12A generation -- pure in their own eyes, But from their own filth not washed.

Pro 30:13

Pro 30:13A generation -- how high are their eyes, Yea, their eyelids are lifted up.

Pro 30:14

Pro 30:14A generation -- swords are their teeth, And knives -- their jaw-teeth, To consume the poor from earth, And the needy from among men.

Pro 30:15

Pro 30:15To the leech are two daughters, 'Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said 'Sufficiency;'

Pro 30:16

Pro 30:16Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth -- it is not satisfied with water, And fire -- it hath not said, 'Sufficiency,'

Pro 30:17

Pro 30:17An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young eagles.

Pro 30:18

Pro 30:18Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four that I have not known:

Pro 30:19

Pro 30:19The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth.

Pro 30:20

Pro 30:20So -- the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, 'I have not done iniquity.'

Pro 30:21

Pro 30:21For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four -- it is not able to bear:

Pro 30:22

Pro 30:22For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread,

Pro 30:23

Pro 30:23For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress.

Pro 30:24

Pro 30:24Four are little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise:

Pro 30:25

Pro 30:25The ants are a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food,

Pro 30:26

Pro 30:26Conies are a people not strong, And they place in a rock their house,

Pro 30:27

Pro 30:27A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out -- each one shouting,

Pro 30:28

Pro 30:28A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king.

Pro 30:29

Pro 30:29Three there are going well, Yea, four are good in going:

Pro 30:30

Pro 30:30An old lion -- mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any,

Pro 30:31

Pro 30:31A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king -- no rising up with him.

Pro 30:32

Pro 30:32If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth!

Pro 30:33

Pro 30:33For the churning of milk bringeth out butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood, And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife!
