1 # The words <01697> of Agur <094> the son <01121> of Jakeh <03348>, even the prophecy <04853>: the man <01397> spake <05002> (8803) unto Ithiel <0384>, even unto Ithiel <0384> and Ucal <0401>,
2 Surely I am more brutish <01198> than any man <0376>, and have not the understanding <0998> of a man <0120>.
3 I neither learned <03925> (8804) wisdom <02451>, nor have <03045> (8799) the knowledge <01847> of the holy <06918>.
4 Who hath ascended up <05927> (8804) into heaven <08064>, or descended <03381> (8799)? who hath gathered <0622> (8804) the wind <07307> in his fists <02651>? who hath bound <06887> (8804) the waters <04325> in a garment <08071>? who hath established <06965> (8689) all the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>? what is his name <08034>, and what is his son's <01121> name <08034>, if thou canst tell <03045> (8799)?
5 Every word <0565> of God <0433> is pure <06884> (8803): he is a shield <04043> unto them that put their trust <02620> (8802) in him.
6 Add <03254> (8686) thou not unto his words <01697>, lest he reprove <03198> (8686) thee, and thou be found a liar <03576> (8738).
7 # Two <08147> things have I required <07592> (8804) of thee; deny <04513> (8799) me them not before I die <04191> (8799):
8 Remove far <07368> (8685) from me vanity <07723> and lies <01697> <03577>: give <05414> (8799) me neither poverty <07389> nor riches <06239>; feed <02963> (8685) me with food <03899> convenient <02706> for me:
 - WAY OF HEALTH
9 Lest I be full <07646> (8799), and deny <03584> (8765) thee, and say <0559> (8804), Who is the LORD <03068>? or lest I be poor <03423> (8735), and steal <01589> (8804), and take <08610> (8804) the name <08034> of my God <0430> in vain.
10 # Accuse <03960> (8686) not a servant <05650> unto his master <0113>, lest he curse <07043> (8762) thee, and thou be found guilty <0816> (8804).
11 There is a generation <01755> that curseth <07043> (8762) their father <01>, and doth not bless <01288> (8762) their mother <0517>.
12 There is a generation <01755> that are pure <02889> in their own eyes <05869>, and yet is not washed <07364> (8795) from their filthiness <06675>.
13 There is a generation <01755>, O how lofty <07311> (8804) are their eyes <05869>! and their eyelids <06079> are lifted up <05375> (8735).
14 There is a generation <01755>, whose teeth <08127> are as swords <02719>, and their jaw teeth <04973> as knives <03979>, to devour <0398> (8800) the poor <06041> from off the earth <0776>, and the needy <034> from among men <0120>.
15 # The horseleach <05936> hath two <08147> daughters <01323>, crying, Give <03051> (8798), give <03051> (8798). There are three <07969> things that are never satisfied <07646> (8799), yea, four <0702> things say <0559> (8804) not, It is enough <01952>:
16 The grave <07585>; and the barren <06115> womb <07356>; the earth <0776> that is not filled <07646> (8804) with water <04325>; and the fire <0784> that saith <0559> (8804) not, It is enough <01952>.
17 The eye <05869> that mocketh <03932> (8799) at his father <01>, and despiseth <0936> (8799) to obey <03349> his mother <0517>, the ravens <06158> of the valley <05158> shall pick it out <05365> (8799) , and the young <01121> eagles <05404> shall eat <0398> (8799) it.
18 # There be three <07969> things which are too wonderful <06381> (8738) for me, yea, four <0702> which I know <03045> (8804) not:
19 The way <01870> of an eagle <05404> in the air <08064>; the way <01870> of a serpent <05175> upon a rock <06697>; the way <01870> of a ship <0591> in the midst <03820> of the sea <03220>; and the way <01870> of a man <01397> with a maid <05959>.
20 Such is the way <01870> of an adulterous <05003> (8764) woman <0802>; she eateth <0398> (8804) , and wipeth <04229> (8804) her mouth <06310>, and saith <0559> (8804), I have done <06466> (8804) no wickedness <0205>.
21 For three <07969> things the earth <0776> is disquieted <07264> (8804), and for four <0702> which it cannot <03201> (8799) bear <05375> (8800):
22 For a servant <05650> when he reigneth <04427> (8799); and a fool <05036> when he is filled <07646> (8799) with meat <03899>;
23 For an odious <08130> (8803) woman when she is married <01166> (8735); and an handmaid <08198> that is heir <03423> (8799) to her mistress <01404>.
24 # There be four <0702> things which are little <06996> upon the earth <0776>, but they are exceeding <02449> (8794) wise <02450>:
25 The ants <05244> are a people <05971> not strong <05794>, yet they prepare <03559> (8686) their meat <03899> in the summer <07019>;
26 The conies <08227> are but a feeble <06099> folk <05971>, yet make <07760> (8799) they their houses <01004> in the rocks <05553>;
27 The locusts <0697> have no king <04428>, yet go they forth <03318> (8799) all of them by bands <02686> (8802);
28 The spider <08079> taketh hold <08610> (8762) with her hands <03027>, and is in kings <04428>' palaces <01964>.
29 # There be three <07969> things which go <06806> well <03190> (8688), yea, four <0702> are comely <02895> (8688) in going <03212> (8800):
30 A lion <03918> which is strongest <01368> among beasts <0929>, and turneth not away <07725> (8799) for <06440> any;
31 A greyhound <04975> <02223>; an he goat <08495> also <0176>; and a king <04428>, against whom there is no rising up <0510>.
32 If thou hast done foolishly <05034> (8804) in lifting up <05375> (8692) thyself, or if thou hast thought evil <02161> (8804), lay thine hand <03027> upon thy mouth <06310>.
33 Surely the churning <04330> of milk <02461> bringeth forth <03318> (8686) butter <02529>, and the wringing <04330> of the nose <0639> bringeth forth <03318> (8686) blood <01818>: so the forcing <04330> of wrath <0639> bringeth forth <03318> (8686) strife <07379>.
