- The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle. The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
- Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man.
- Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
- Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son's name? Surely you know!
- Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
|
- The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
- Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
- I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
- Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
- Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
|
- Do not add to His words Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar.
- Two things I asked of You, Do not refuse me before I die:
- Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion,
- That I not be full and deny You and say, "Who is the LORD?" Or that I not be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God.
|
- Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
- Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
- Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
- Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
