Proverbs 30
1 [the] words of - Agur [the] son of Jakeh the oracle [the] utterance of the man to Ithiel to Ithiel and Ukal.
Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the declaration, an affirmation of the man: — I have wearied myself [for] God, I have wearied myself [for] God, and am consumed.
2 That [am] stupid I more than anyone and not [the] understanding of a person [belongs] to me.
For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man.
3 And not I have learned wisdom and knowledge of [the] holy [one] I know.
Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know.
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 went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What [is] His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!
5 Every word of God [is] refined [is] a shield he for [those who] take refuge in him.
Every saying of God [is] tried, A shield He [is] to those trusting in 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 reason with thee, And thou hast been found false.
7 Two [things] I ask from with you may not you withhold [them] from me before I will die.
Two things I have asked from Thee, Withhold not 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.
Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,
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 become satiated, and have denied, And have said, 'Who [is] Jehovah?' And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of the name of my God.
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 servant unto his lord, Lest he disesteem thee, and thou be found guilty.
11 A generation father its it curses and mother its not it blesses.
A generation [is], that lightly esteemeth their father, And their mother doth not bless.
12 A generation [is] pure in own eyes its and from excrement its not it has been washed.
A generation — pure in their own eyes, But from their own filth not washed.
13 A generation how! they are raised eyes its and eyelids its they are lifted up.
A generation — how high are their eyes, Yea, their eyelids are lifted up.
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 generation — swords [are] their teeth, And knives — their jaw-teeth, To consume the poor from earth, And the needy 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.
To the leech [are] two daughters, 'Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said 'Sufficiency;'
16 Sheol and barrenness of a womb land [which] not it is satisfied water and fire [which] not it says enough. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth — it [is] not satisfied [with] water, And fire — it hath not said, 'Sufficiency,' (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.
An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young eagles.
18 Three [things] they they are [too] wonderful for me (and four [things] *Q(k)*) not I know them.
Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four that I have not known:
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 the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way 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.
So — the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, 'I have not done iniquity.'
21 Under three [things] it quakes [the] earth and under four [things] not it is able to bear up.
For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four — it is not able to bear:
22 Under a slave for he will become king and a fool for he will be satisfied food.
For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread,
23 Under a hated [woman] for she will be married and a female servant for she will dispossess mistress her.
For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress.
24 Four [things] they [are] small [things] of [the] earth and they [are] wise [things] made wise.
Four [are] little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise:
25 The ants [are] a people not strong and they prepared in the summer food their.
The ants [are] a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food,
26 Rock badgers [are] a people not mighty and they made in the rock[s] home their.
Conies [are] a people not strong, And they place in a rock their house,
27 A king not [belongs] to the locust and it went out dividing all of it.
A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out — each one shouting,
28 A lizard in [two] hands you will grasp and it [is] in [the] palaces of a king.
A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king.
29 Three [things] they [are] doing well of step and four [things] [are] doing well to walk.
Three there are going well, Yea, four are good in going:
30 A lion [is] mighty among the animal[s] and not it turns back from before anything.
An old lion — mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any,
31 A rooster of loins or a male goat and a king a band of soldiers with him.
A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king — no rising up with him.
32 If you have been foolish by exalting yourself and if you have plotted hand to a mouth.
If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil — hand to 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.
For the churning of milk bringeth out butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood, And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife!
