THE words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017932">2</a>. Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017933">3</a>. I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017934">4</a>. 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?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017935">5</a>. Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017936">6</a>. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017937">7</a>. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017938">8</a>. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017939">9</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017940">10</a>. Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017941">11</a>. There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017942">12</a>. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017943">13</a>. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes!  and their eyelids are lifted up.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017944">14</a>. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017945">15</a>. The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017946">16</a>. The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017947">17</a>. The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017948">18</a>. There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017949">19</a>. The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017950">20</a>. Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017951">21</a>. For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017952">22</a>. For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017953">23</a>. For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017954">24</a>. There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017955">25</a>. The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017956">26</a>. The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017957">27</a>. The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017958">28</a>. The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017959">29</a>. There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017960">30</a>. A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017961">31</a>. A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017962">32</a>. If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017963">33</a>. Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.</li>
