fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; The oracle. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal: |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man; |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And I have not learned wisdom, Neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest? |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Two things have I asked of thee; Deny me `them' not before I die: |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me: |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Lest I be full, and deny `thee', and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God. |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Slander not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty. |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData There is a generation that curse their father, And bless not their mother. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And `yet' are not washed from their filthiness. |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData There 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. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The horseleach hath two daughters, `crying', Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, `Yea', four that say not, Enough: |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The 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. |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, four which I know not: |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The 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 maiden. |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData So is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, I have done no wickedness. |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For three things the earth doth tremble, And for four, `which' it cannot bear: |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food; |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress. |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise: |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their food in the summer; |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks; |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands; |
| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The lizard taketh hold with her hands, Yet is she in kings' palaces. |
| 29 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData There are three things which are stately in their march, Yea, four which are stately in going: |
| 30 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any; |
| 31 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up. |
| 32 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, `Lay' thy hand upon thy mouth. |
| 33 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. |
