Proverbs 30:1-6 ▼

1 The words of Agur, son of Jakeh: the lifting up: the declaration of the man to Ithiel; to Ithiel and Ucal:

2 For I am brutish more than man, and not the understanding of a man to me.

3 I learnt not wisdom, and I shall not know the knowledge of the holy.

4 Who went up to the heavens, and came down? who gathered the wind in his fists? who bound the waters in a garment? who set up all the ends of the earth? what his name and what his son's name, if thou shalt know?

5 All the word of God is purified: he a shield to those trusting in him.

6 Thou shalt not add to his words lest he reprove in thee, and thou wert false.
