The wordsH1697 of AgurH94 the sonH1121 of JakehH3348, even the prophecyH4853: the manH1397 spakeH5002 unto IthielH384, even unto IthielH384 and UcalH401,
Surely I am more brutishH1198 than any manH376, and have not the understandingH998 of a manH120.
I neither learnedH3925 wisdomH2451, nor haveH3045 the knowledgeH1847 of the holyH6918. {have: Heb. know}
Who hath ascended upH5927 into heavenH8064, or descendedH3381? who hath gatheredH622 the windH7307 in his fistsH2651? who hath boundH6887 the watersH4325 in a garmentH8071? who hath establishedH6965 all the endsH657 of the earthH776? what is his nameH8034, and what is his son'sH1121 nameH8034, if thou canst tellH3045?
Every wordH565 of GodH433 is pureH6884: he is a shieldH4043 unto them that put their trustH2620 in him. {pure: Heb. purified}
AddH3254 thou not unto his wordsH1697, lest he reproveH3198 thee, and thou be found a liarH3576.
TwoH8147 things have I requiredH7592 of thee; denyH4513 me them not before I dieH4191: {deny…: Heb. withhold not from me}
Remove farH7368 from me vanityH7723 and liesH1697+H3577: giveH5414 me neither povertyH7389 nor richesH6239; feedH2963 me with foodH3899 convenientH2706 for me: {convenient…: Heb. of my allowance}
Lest I be fullH7646, and denyH3584 thee, and sayH559, Who is the LORDH3068? or lest I be poorH3423, and stealH1589, and takeH8610 the nameH8034 of my GodH430 in vain. {deny…: Heb. belie thee}
AccuseH3960 not a servantH5650 unto his masterH113, lest he curseH7043 thee, and thou be found guiltyH816. {Accuse…: Heb. Hurt not with thy tongue}
There is a generationH1755 that cursethH7043 their fatherH1, and doth not blessH1288 their motherH517.
There is a generationH1755 that are pureH2889 in their own eyesH5869, and yet is not washedH7364 from their filthinessH6675.
There is a generationH1755, O how loftyH7311 are their eyesH5869! and their eyelidsH6079 are lifted upH5375.
There is a generationH1755, whose teethH8127 are as swordsH2719, and their jaw teethH4973 as knivesH3979, to devourH398 the poorH6041 from off the earthH776, and the needyH34 from among menH120.
The horseleachH5936 hath twoH8147 daughtersH1323, crying, GiveH3051, giveH3051. There are threeH7969 things that are never satisfiedH7646, yea, fourH702 things sayH559 not, It is enoughH1952: {It is…: Heb. Wealth}
The graveH7585; and the barrenH6115 wombH7356; the earthH776 that is not filledH7646 with waterH4325; and the fireH784 that saithH559 not, It is enoughH1952.
The eyeH5869 that mockethH3932 at his fatherH1, and despisethH936 to obeyH3349 his motherH517, the ravensH6158 of the valleyH5158 shall pick it outH5365, and the youngH1121 eaglesH5404 shall eatH398 it. {the valley: or, the brook}
There be threeH7969 things which are too wonderfulH6381 for me, yea, fourH702 which I knowH3045 not:
The wayH1870 of an eagleH5404 in the airH8064; the wayH1870 of a serpentH5175 upon a rockH6697; the wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the midstH3820 of the seaH3220; and the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a maidH5959. {midst: Heb. heart}
Such is the wayH1870 of an adulterousH5003 womanH802; she eatethH398, and wipethH4229 her mouthH6310, and saithH559, I have doneH6466 no wickednessH205.
For threeH7969 things the earthH776 is disquietedH7264, and for fourH702 which it cannotH3201 bearH5375:
For a servantH5650 when he reignethH4427; and a foolH5036 when he is filledH7646 with meatH3899;
For an odiousH8130 woman when she is marriedH1166; and an handmaidH8198 that is heirH3423 to her mistressH1404.
There be fourH702 things which are littleH6996 upon the earthH776, but they are exceedingH2449 wiseH2450: {exceeding…: Heb. wise, made wise}
The antsH5244 are a peopleH5971 not strongH5794, yet they prepareH3559 their meatH3899 in the summerH7019;
The coniesH8227 are but a feebleH6099 folkH5971, yet makeH7760 they their housesH1004 in the rocksH5553;
The locustsH697 have no kingH4428, yet go they forthH3318 all of them by bandsH2686; {by…: Heb. gathered together}
The spiderH8079 taketh holdH8610 with her handsH3027, and is in kings'H4428 palacesH1964.
There be threeH7969 things which goH6806 wellH3190, yea, fourH702 are comelyH2895 in goingH3212:
A lionH3918 which is strongestH1368 among beastsH929, and turneth not awayH7725 forH6440 any;
A greyhoundH4975+H2223; an he goatH8495 alsoH176; and a kingH4428, against whom there is no rising upH510. {greyhound: or, horse: Heb. girt in the loins}
If thou hast done foolishlyH5034 in lifting upH5375 thyself, or if thou hast thought evilH2161, lay thine handH3027 upon thy mouthH6310.
Surely the churningH4330 of milkH2461 bringeth forthH3318 butterH2529, and the wringingH4330 of the noseH639 bringeth forthH3318 bloodH1818: so the forcingH4330 of wrathH639 bringeth forthH3318 strifeH7379.

In GibeonH1391 the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915: and GodH430 saidH559, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee.

GiveH5414 therefore thy servantH5650 an understandingH8085 heartH3820 to judgeH8199 thy peopleH5971, that I may discernH995 between goodH2896 and badH7451: for who is ableH3201 to judgeH8199 this thy so greatH3515 a peopleH5971? {understanding: Heb. hearing}
