1 The words 1697 of Agur 94 the son 1121 of Jakeh 3348, even the prophecy 4853: the man 1397 spake 5002 unto Ithiel 384, even unto Ithiel 384 and Ucal 401,
2 Surely I am more brutish 1198 than any man 376, and have not the understanding 998 of a man 120.
3 I neither learned 3925 wisdom 2451, nor have 3045 the knowledge 1847 of the holy 6918.
4 Who hath ascended up 5927 into heaven 8064, or descended 3381? who hath gathered 622 the wind 7307 in his fists 2651? who hath bound 6887 the waters 4325 in a garment 8071? who hath established 6965 all the ends 657 of the earth 776? what is his name 8034, and what is his son's 1121 name 8034, if thou canst tell 3045?
5 Every word 565 of God 433 is pure 6884: he is a shield 4043 unto them that put their trust 2620 in him.
6 Add 3254 thou not unto his words 1697, lest he reprove 3198 thee, and thou be found a liar 3576.
7 Two 8147 things have I required 7592 of thee; deny 4513 me them not before I die 4191:
8 Remove far 7368 from me vanity 7723 and lies 1697 3577: give 5414 me neither poverty 7389 nor riches 6239; feed 2963 me with food 3899 convenient 2706 for me:
9 Lest I be full 7646, and deny 3584 thee, and say 559, Who is the LORD 3068? or lest I be poor 3423, and steal 1589, and take 8610 the name 8034 of my God 430 in vain.
10 Accuse 3960 not a servant 5650 unto his master 113, lest he curse 7043 thee, and thou be found guilty 816.
11 There is a generation 1755 that curseth 7043 their father 1, and doth not bless 1288 their mother 517.
12 There is a generation 1755 that are pure 2889 in their own eyes 5869, and yet is not washed 7364 from their filthiness 6675.
13 There is a generation 1755, O how lofty 7311 are their eyes 5869! and their eyelids 6079 are lifted up 5375.
14 There is a generation 1755, whose teeth 8127 are as swords 2719, and their jaw teeth 4973 as knives 3979, to devour 398 the poor 6041 from off the earth 776, and the needy 34 from among men 120.
15 The horseleach 5936 hath two 8147 daughters 1323, crying, Give 3051, give 3051. There are three 7969 things that are never satisfied 7646, yea, four 702 things say 559 not, It is enough 1952:
16 The grave 7585; and the barren 6115 womb 7356; the earth 776 that is not filled 7646 with water 4325; and the fire 784 that saith 559 not, It is enough 1952.
17 The eye 5869 that mocketh 3932 at his father 1, and despiseth 936 to obey 3349 his mother 517, the ravens 6158 of the valley 5158 shall pick it out 5365, and the young 1121 eagles 5404 shall eat 398 it.
18 There be three 7969 things which are too wonderful 6381 for me, yea, four 702 which I know 3045 not:
19 The way 1870 of an eagle 5404 in the air 8064; the way 1870 of a serpent 5175 upon a rock 6697; the way 1870 of a ship 591 in the midst 3820 of the sea 3220; and the way 1870 of a man 1397 with a maid 5959.
20 Such is the way 1870 of an adulterous 5003 woman 802; she eateth 398, and wipeth 4229 her mouth 6310, and saith 559, I have done 6466 no wickedness 205.
21 For three 7969 things the earth 776 is disquieted 7264, and for four 702 which it cannot 3201 bear 5375:
22 For a servant 5650 when he reigneth 4427; and a fool 5036 when he is filled 7646 with meat 3899;
23 For an odious 8130 woman when she is married 1166; and an handmaid 8198 that is heir 3423 to her mistress 1404.
24 There be four 702 things which are little 6996 upon the earth 776, but they are exceeding 2449 wise 2450:
25 The ants 5244 are a people 5971 not strong 5794, yet they prepare 3559 their meat 3899 in the summer 7019;
26 The conies 8227 are but a feeble 6099 folk 5971, yet make 7760 they their houses 1004 in the rocks 5553;
27 The locusts 697 have no king 4428, yet go they forth 3318 all of them by bands 2686;
28 The spider 8079 taketh hold 8610 with her hands 3027, and is in kings 4428' palaces 1964.
29 There be three 7969 things which go 6806 well 3190, yea, four 702 are comely 2895 in going 3212:
30 A lion 3918 which is strongest 1368 among beasts 929, and turneth not away 7725 for 6440 any;
31 A greyhound 4975 2223; an he goat 8495 also 176; and a king 4428, against whom there is no rising up 510.
32 If thou hast done foolishly 5034 in lifting up 5375 thyself, or if thou hast thought evil 2161, lay thine hand 3027 upon thy mouth 6310.
33 Surely the churning 4330 of milk 2461 bringeth forth 3318 butter 2529, and the wringing 4330 of the nose 639 bringeth forth 3318 blood 1818: so the forcing 4330 of wrath 639 bringeth forth 3318 strife 7379.
