Proverbs 30

1 Agur's confession of faith. 7 The two points of his prayer. 10 The meanest are not to be wronged. 11 Four wicked generations. 15 Four things insatiable. 17 Parents are not to be despised. 18 Four things hard to be known. 21 Four things intolerable. 24 Four things exceeding wise. 29 Four things stately. 32 Wrath is to be prevented.

 30:1 ¶ The words 1697 of Agur 94 the son 1121 of Jakeh, 3348 [even] the prophecy: 4853 the man 1397 spake 5002 z8803 unto Ithiel, 384 even unto Ithiel 384 and Ucal, 401

 30:2 Surely x3588 I x595 [am] more brutish 1198 than [any] man, 376 x4480 and have not x3808 the understanding 998 of a man. 120

 30:3 I neither x3808 learned 3925 z8804 wisdom, 2451 nor have 3045 z8799 the knowledge 1847 of the holy. 6918

 30:4 Who x4310 hath ascended up 5927 z8804 into heaven, 8064 or descended? 3381 z8799 who x4310 hath gathered 622 z8804 the wind 7307 in his fists? 2651 who x4310 hath bound 6887 z8804 the waters 4325 in a garment? 8071 who x4310 hath established 6965 z8689 all x3605 the ends 657 of the earth? 776 what x4100 [is] his name, 8034 and what x4100 [is] his son's 1121 name, 8034 if x3588 thou canst tell? 3045 z8799

 30:5 Every x3605 word 565 of God 433 [is] pure: 6884 z8803 he x1931 [is] a shield 4043 unto them that put their trust 2620 z8802 in him.

 30:6 Add 3254 z8686 thou not x408 unto x5921 his words, 1697 lest x6435 he reprove 3198 z8686 thee, and thou be found a liar. 3576 z8738

 30:7 Two 8147 [things] have I required 7592 z8804 of x4480 x854 thee; deny 4513 z8799 x4480 me [them] not x408 before x2962 I die: 4191 z8799

 30:8 Remove far 7368 z8685 from x4480 me vanity 7723 and lies: 1697 3577 give 5414 z8799 me neither x408 poverty 7389 nor riches; 6239 feed 2963 z8685 me with food 3899 convenient 2706 for me:

 30:9 Lest x6435 I be full, 7646 z8799 and deny 3584 z8765 [thee], and say, 559 z8804 Who x4310 [is] the LORD? 3068 or lest x6435 I be poor, 3423 z8735 and steal, 1589 z8804 and take 8610 z8804 the name 8034 of my God 430 [in vain].

 30:10 Accuse 3960 z8686 not x408 a servant 5650 unto x413 his master, 113 lest x6435 he curse 7043 z8762 thee, and thou be found guilty. 816 z8804

 30:11 [There is] a generation 1755 [that] curseth 7043 z8762 their father, 1 and doth not x3808 bless 1288 z8762 their mother. 517

 30:12 [There is] a generation 1755 [that are] pure 2889 in their own eyes, 5869 and [yet] is not x3808 washed 7364 z8795 from their filthiness. 6675 x4480

 30:13 [There is] a generation, 1755 O how x4100 lofty 7311 z8804 are their eyes! 5869 and their eyelids 6079 are lifted up. 5375 z8735

 30:14 [There is] a generation, 1755 whose teeth 8127 [are as] swords, 2719 and their jaw teeth 4973 [as] knives, 3979 to devour 398 z8800 the poor 6041 from off the earth, 776 x4480 and the needy 34 from [among] men. 120 x4480

 30:15 The horseleach 5936 hath two 8147 daughters, 1323 [crying], Give, 3051 z8798 give. 3051 z8798 There are three 7969 x2007 [things that] are never x3808 satisfied, 7646 z8799 [yea], four 702 [things] say 559 z8804 not, x3808 [It is] enough: 1952

 30:16 The grave; 7585 and the barren 6115 womb; 7356 the earth 776 [that] is not x3808 filled 7646 z8804 with water; 4325 and the fire 784 [that] saith 559 z8804 not, x3808 [It is] enough. 1952

 30:17 The eye 5869 [that] mocketh 3932 z8799 at [his] father, 1 and despiseth 936 z8799 to obey 3349 [his] mother, 517 the ravens 6158 of the valley 5158 shall pick it out, 5365 z8799 and the young 1121 eagles 5404 shall eat 398 z8799 it.

 30:18 There be three 7969 [things which] are too wonderful 6381 z8738 for x4480 me, yea, four 702 which I know 3045 z8804 not: x3808

 30:19 The way 1870 of an eagle 5404 in the air; 8064 the way 1870 of a serpent 5175 upon x5921 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

 30:20 Such x3651 [is] the way 1870 of an adulterous 5003 z8764 woman; 802 she eateth, 398 z8804 and wipeth 4229 z8804 her mouth, 6310 and saith, 559 z8804 I have done 6466 z8804 no x3808 wickedness. 205

 30:21 For x8478 three 7969 [things] the earth 776 is disquieted, 7264 z8804 and for x8478 four 702 [which] it cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 bear: 5375 z8800

 30:22 For x8478 a servant 5650 when x3588 he reigneth; 4427 z8799 and a fool 5036 when x3588 he is filled 7646 z8799 with meat; 3899

 30:23 For x8478 an odious 8130 z8803 [woman] when x3588 she is married; 1166 z8735 and an handmaid 8198 that x3588 is heir 3423 z8799 to her mistress. 1404

 30:24 There be four 702 [things which are] little 6996 upon the earth, 776 but they x1992 [are] exceeding y2449 z8794 wise: 2450 x2449

 30:25 The ants 5244 [are] a people 5971 not x3808 strong, 5794 yet they prepare 3559 z8686 their meat 3899 in the summer; 7019

 30:26 The conies 8227 [are but] a feeble 6099 x3808 folk, 5971 yet make 7760 z8799 they their houses 1004 in the rocks; 5553

 30:27 The locusts 697 have no x369 king, 4428 yet go they forth 3318 z8799 all x3605 of them by bands; 2686 z8802

 30:28 The spider 8079 taketh hold 8610 z8762 with her hands, 3027 and is in kings' 4428 palaces. 1964

 30:29 There be three 7969 [things] which go 6806 well, 3190 z8688 yea, four 702 are comely y2895 z8688 x3190 in going: y3212 z8800 x1980

 30:30 A lion 3918 [which is] strongest 1368 among beasts, 929 and turneth not away 7725 z8799 x3808 for 6440 x4480 any; x3605

 30:31 A greyhound; 4975 2223 an he goat 8495 also; 176 and a king, 4428 against x5973 whom [there is] no x408 rising up. y510 x6965

 30:32 If x518 thou hast done foolishly 5034 z8804 in lifting up y5375 z8692 thyself, x5375 or if x518 thou hast thought evil, 2161 z8804 [lay] thine hand 3027 upon thy mouth. 6310

 30:33 Surely x3588 the churning 4330 of milk 2461 bringeth forth 3318 z8686 butter, 2529 and the wringing 4330 of the nose 639 bringeth forth 3318 z8686 blood: 1818 so the forcing 4330 of wrath 639 bringeth forth 3318 z8686 strife. 7379
