Proverbs 30
1 [the] words of - Agur [the] son of Jakeh the oracle [the] utterance of the man to Ithiel to Ithiel and Ukal.
These things says the man to them that trust in God; and I cease.
2 That [am] stupid I more than anyone and not [the] understanding of a person [belongs] to me.
For I am the most simple of all men, and there is not in me the wisdom of men.
3 And not I have learned wisdom and knowledge of [the] holy [one] I know.
God has taught me wisdom, and I know the knowledge of the holy.
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 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?
5 Every word of God [is] refined [is] a shield he for [those who] take refuge in him.
For all the words of God are tried in the fire, and he defends those that reverence him.
6 May not you add to words his lest he should rebuke you and you will be proved a liar.
Add not to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be made a liar.
7 Two [things] I ask from with you may not you withhold [them] from me before I will die.
Two things I ask of you; take not favor from me 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.
Remove far from me vanity and falsehood: and give me not wealth [or] poverty; but appoint me what is needful and sufficient:
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.
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.
10 May not you slander a slave to (master his *Q(K)*) lest he should curse you and you will be held guilty.
Deliver not a servant into the hands of his master, lest he curse you, and you be utterly destroyed.
11 A generation father its it curses and mother its not it blesses.
A wicked generation curse their father, and do not bless their mother.
12 A generation [is] pure in own eyes its and from excrement its not it has been washed.
A wicked generation judge themselves to be just, but do not cleanse their way.
13 A generation how! they are raised eyes its and eyelids its they are lifted up.
A wicked generation have lofty eyes, and exalt themselves with their eyelids.
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.
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.
15 [belong] to A leech - two daughters give - give three [things] they not they are satisfied four [things] not they say enough.
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.
16 Sheol and barrenness of a womb land [which] not it is satisfied water and fire [which] not it says enough. (Sheol h7585)
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 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 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.
18 Three [things] they they are [too] wonderful for me (and four [things] *Q(k)*) not I know them.
Moreover there are three things impossible for me to comprehend, and the fourth I know 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 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.
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 the way of an adulterous woman, who having washed herself from what she has done, says she has done nothing amiss.
21 Under three [things] it quakes [the] earth and under four [things] not it is able to bear up.
By three thing the earth is troubled, and the fourth it can’t bear:
22 Under a slave for he will become king and a fool for he will be satisfied food.
if a servant reign; or a fool be filled with food;
23 Under a hated [woman] for she will be married and a female servant for she will dispossess mistress her.
or if a maidservant should cast out her own mistress; and if a hateful woman should marry a good man.
24 Four [things] they [are] small [things] of [the] earth and they [are] wise [things] made wise.
And [there are] four very little things upon the earth, but these are wiser than the wise:
25 The ants [are] a people not strong and they prepared in the summer food their.
the ants which are weak, and [yet] prepare [their] food in summer;
26 Rock badgers [are] a people not mighty and they made in the rock[s] home their.
the rabbits also [are] a feeble race, who make their houses in the rocks.
27 A king not [belongs] to the locust and it went out dividing all of it.
The locusts have no king, and [yet] march orderly at one command.
28 A lizard in [two] hands you will grasp and it [is] in [the] palaces of a king.
And the eft, which supports itself by [its] hands, and is easily taken, dwells in the fortresses of kings.
29 Three [things] they [are] doing well of step and four [things] [are] doing well to walk.
And there are three things which go well, and a fourth which passes along finely.
30 A lion [is] mighty among the animal[s] and not it turns back from before anything.
A lion's whelp, stronger than [all other] beasts, which turns not away, nor fears [any] beast;
31 A rooster of loins or a male goat and a king a band of soldiers with him.
and a cock walking in boldly among the hens, and the goat leading the herd; and a king publicly speaking before a nation.
32 If you have been foolish by exalting yourself and if you have plotted hand to a mouth.
If you abandon yourself to mirth, and stretch forth your hand in a quarrel, you shall be disgraced.
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.
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.
