2 That [am] stupid I more than anyone and not [the] understanding of a person [belongs] to me.
Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me.
3 And not I have learned wisdom and knowledge of [the] holy [one] I know.
For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things.
4 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.
Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
5 Every word of God [is] refined [is] a shield he for [those who] take refuge in him.
Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.
6 May not you add to words his lest he should rebuke you and you will be proved a liar.
Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.
7 Two [things] I ask from with you may not you withhold [them] from me before I will die.
Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die.
8 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.
Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me,
9 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.
Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.
10 May not you slander a slave to (master his *Q(K)*) lest he should curse you and you will be held guilty.
Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended.
11 A generation father its it curses and mother its not it blesses.
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother.
12 A generation [is] pure in own eyes its and from excrement its not it has been washed.
There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse.
13 A generation how! they are raised eyes its and eyelids its they are lifted up.
There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.
14 A generation - [are] swords teeth its and [are] knives jaw bones its to devour afflicted [people] from [the] earth and needy [people] from humankind.
There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men.
15 [belong] to A leech - two daughters give - give three [things] they not they are satisfied four [things] not they say enough.
The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.

The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough. (Sheol h7585)
17 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.
The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.
18 Three [things] they they are [too] wonderful for me (and four [things] *Q(k)*) not I know them.
There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,
19 [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.
The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.
20 [is] thus - [the] way of A woman adulterous she eats and she wipes clean mouth her and she says not I have done wickedness.
Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.
21 Under three [things] it quakes [the] earth and under four [things] not it is able to bear up.
For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:
22 Under a slave for he will become king and a fool for he will be satisfied food.
For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,
23 Under a hated [woman] for she will be married and a female servant for she will dispossess mistress her.
For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.
24 Four [things] they [are] small [things] of [the] earth and they [are] wise [things] made wise.

25 The ants [are] a people not strong and they prepared in the summer food their.
The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:
26 Rock badgers [are] a people not mighty and they made in the rock[s] home their.
The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:
27 A king not [belongs] to the locust and it went out dividing all of it.
The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:
28 A lizard in [two] hands you will grasp and it [is] in [the] palaces of a king.
The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.
29 Three [things] they [are] doing well of step and four [things] [are] doing well to walk.
There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,
30 A lion [is] mighty among the animal[s] and not it turns back from before anything.
A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:
31 A rooster of loins or a male goat and a king a band of soldiers with him.
A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.
32 If you have been foolish by exalting yourself and if you have plotted hand to a mouth.
If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
33 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.
When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.
