< Proverbs 30 >
1 These things says the man to them that trust in God; and I cease.
[the] words of - Agur [the] son of Jakeh the oracle [the] utterance of the man to Ithiel to Ithiel and Ukal.
2 For I am the most simple of all men, and there is not in me the wisdom of men.
That [am] stupid I more than anyone and not [the] understanding of a person [belongs] to me.
3 God has taught me wisdom, and I know the knowledge of the holy.
And not I have learned wisdom and knowledge of [the] holy [one] I know.
4 Who has gone up to heaven, and come down? who has gathered the winds in his bosom? who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? who has dominion of all the ends of the earth? what is his name? or what is the name of his children?
Who? has he gone up heaven - and has he come down? who? has he gathered [the] wind - in hands his who? has he wrapped [the] waters - in cloak who? has he set up all [the] ends of [the] earth what? [is] name his and what? [is] [the] name of son his for you know.
5 For all the words of God are tried in the fire, and he defends those that reverence him.
Every word of God [is] refined [is] a shield he for [those who] take refuge in him.
6 Add not to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be made a liar.
May not you add to words his lest he should rebuke you and you will be proved a liar.
7 Two things I ask of you; take not favor from me before I die.
Two [things] I ask from with you may not you withhold [them] from me before I will die.
8 Remove far from me vanity and falsehood: and give me not wealth [or] poverty; but appoint me what is needful and sufficient:
Deceitfulness - and a word of falsehood put far away from me poverty and wealth may not you give to me let devour me [the] food of allotment my.
9 lest I be filled and become false, and say, Who sees me? or be poor and steal, and swear [vainly] by the name of God.
Lest I should be satisfied - and I will deny and I will say who? [is] Yahweh and lest I should become impoverished and I will steal and I will seize [the] name of God my.
10 Deliver not a servant into the hands of his master, lest he curse you, and you be utterly destroyed.
May not you slander a slave to (master his *Q(K)*) lest he should curse you and you will be held guilty.
11 A wicked generation curse their father, and do not bless their mother.
A generation father its it curses and mother its not it blesses.
12 A wicked generation judge themselves to be just, but do not cleanse their way.
A generation [is] pure in own eyes its and from excrement its not it has been washed.
13 A wicked generation have lofty eyes, and exalt themselves with their eyelids.
A generation how! they are raised eyes its and eyelids its they are lifted up.
14 A wicked generation have swords [for] teeth and jaw teeth [as] knives, so as to destroy and devour the lowly from the earth, and the poor of them from among men.
A generation - [are] swords teeth its and [are] knives jaw bones its to devour afflicted [people] from [the] earth and needy [people] from humankind.
15 The horse-leech had three dearly beloved daughters: and these three did not satisfy her; and the fourth was not contented so as to say, Enough.
[belong] to A leech - two daughters give - give three [things] they not they are satisfied four [things] not they say enough.
16 The grave, and the love of a woman, and the earth not filled with water; water also and fire will not say, It is enough. (Sheol )
Sheol and barrenness of a womb land [which] not it is satisfied water and fire [which] not it says enough. (Sheol )
17 The eye that laughs to scorn a father, and dishonors the old age of a mother, let the ravens of the valleys pick it out, and let the young eagles devour it.
An eye - [which] it mocks a father so it may despise obedience of a mother they will pluck out it [the] ravens of [the] wadi and they will eat it [the] young of an eagle.
18 Moreover there are three things impossible for me to comprehend, and the fourth I know not:
Three [things] they they are [too] wonderful for me (and four [things] *Q(k)*) not I know them.
19 the track of a flying eagle; and the ways of a serpent on a rock; and the paths of a ship passing through the sea; and the ways of a man in youth.
[the] way of The eagle - in the heavens [the] way of a snake on a rock [the] way of a ship in [the] heart of [the] sea and [the] way of a man with a young woman.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman, who having washed herself from what she has done, says she has done nothing amiss.
[is] thus - [the] way of A woman adulterous she eats and she wipes clean mouth her and she says not I have done wickedness.
21 By three thing the earth is troubled, and the fourth it can’t bear:
Under three [things] it quakes [the] earth and under four [things] not it is able to bear up.
22 if a servant reign; or a fool be filled with food;
Under a slave for he will become king and a fool for he will be satisfied food.
23 or if a maidservant should cast out her own mistress; and if a hateful woman should marry a good man.
Under a hated [woman] for she will be married and a female servant for she will dispossess mistress her.
24 And [there are] four very little things upon the earth, but these are wiser than the wise:
Four [things] they [are] small [things] of [the] earth and they [are] wise [things] made wise.
25 the ants which are weak, and [yet] prepare [their] food in summer;
The ants [are] a people not strong and they prepared in the summer food their.
26 the rabbits also [are] a feeble race, who make their houses in the rocks.
Rock badgers [are] a people not mighty and they made in the rock[s] home their.
27 The locusts have no king, and [yet] march orderly at one command.
A king not [belongs] to the locust and it went out dividing all of it.
28 And the eft, which supports itself by [its] hands, and is easily taken, dwells in the fortresses of kings.
A lizard in [two] hands you will grasp and it [is] in [the] palaces of a king.
29 And there are three things which go well, and a fourth which passes along finely.
Three [things] they [are] doing well of step and four [things] [are] doing well to walk.
30 A lion's whelp, stronger than [all other] beasts, which turns not away, nor fears [any] beast;
A lion [is] mighty among the animal[s] and not it turns back from before anything.
31 and a cock walking in boldly among the hens, and the goat leading the herd; and a king publicly speaking before a nation.
A rooster of loins or a male goat and a king a band of soldiers with him.
32 If you abandon yourself to mirth, and stretch forth your hand in a quarrel, you shall be disgraced.
If you have been foolish by exalting yourself and if you have plotted hand to a mouth.
33 Milk out milk, and there shall be butter, and if you wing [one's] nostrils there shall come out blood: so if you extort words, there will come forth quarrels and strifes.
For squeezing of milk it brings forth butter and squeezing of a nose it brings forth blood and squeezing of anger it brings forth strife.
