	LAMSA Lamsa Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	THESE are the words of Agur the son of Jakeh, who prophesied and received power, He said to Ithliel,	The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle. The man declares, I am weary, O God; I am weary, O God, and worn out.	The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh—an inspired utterance. This man’s utterance to Ithiel: “I am weary, God, but I can prevail.
2	Surely, I am weak minded, and have not the understanding of men.	Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.	Surely I am only a brute, not a man; I do not have human understanding.
3	I know not wisdom, nor have I learned the knowledge of the holy men.	I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.	I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.
4	Tell me, Who has ascended up into heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in a handkerchief? Who has established all the borders of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if you can tell?	Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know!	Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
