Proverbs 30:1-6 ▼

1 The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle. The man’s oration to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:

2 I am more stupid than any other man, and I lack man’s ability to understand.

3 I have not gained wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.

4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound 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 — if you know?

5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

6 Don’t add to His words, or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
