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.

And it came to pass at the endH8622 of the yearH8141, that the hostH2428 of SyriaH758 came upH5927 against him: and they cameH935 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and destroyedH7843 all the princesH8269 of the peopleH5971 from among the peopleH5971, and sentH7971 all the spoilH7998 of them unto the kingH4428 of DamascusH1834. {at the…: Heb. in the revolution of the year} {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
For the armyH2428 of the SyriansH758 cameH935 with a smallH4705 company of menH582, and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 a veryH3966 greatH7230 hostH2428 into their handH3027, because they had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lordH113 the kingH4428 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of his servantH5650.

And when DavidH1732 was a littleH4592 pastH5674 the topH7218 of the hill, behold, ZibaH6717 the servantH5288 of MephiboshethH4648 metH7125 him, with a coupleH6776 of assesH2543 saddledH2280, and upon them two hundredH3967 loaves of breadH3899, and an hundredH3967 bunches of raisinsH6778, and an hundredH3967 of summer fruitsH7019, and a bottleH5035 of wineH3196.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZibaH6717, What meanest thou by these? And ZibaH6717 saidH559, The assesH2543 be for the king'sH4428 householdH1004 to ride onH7392; and the breadH3899 and summer fruitH7019 for the young menH5288 to eatH398; and the wineH3196, that such as be faintH3287 in the wildernessH4057 may drinkH8354.

Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to ZibaH6717, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto MephiboshethH4648. And ZibaH6717 saidH559, I humblyH7812 beseech thee that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113, O kingH4428. {I humbly…: Heb. I do obeisance}

WhereforeH6903+H3606 at thatH1836 timeH2166 certainH1400 ChaldeansH3779 came nearH7127, and accusedH7170+H399 the JewsH3062.
They spakeH6032 and saidH560 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957.
ThouH607, O kingH4430, hast madeH7761 a decreeH2942, that everyH3606 manH606 that shall hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and dulcimerH5481+H5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, shall fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755:
And whosoH4479 fallethH5308 notH3809 downH5308 and worshippethH5457, that he should be castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861.
There areH383 certainH1400 JewsH3062 whomH3487 thou hast setH4483 overH5922 the affairsH5673 of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665; theseH479 menH1400, O kingH4430, haveH7761 notH3809 regardedH2942 theeH5922: they serveH6399 notH3809 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which thou hast set upH6966. {have…: Cald. have set no regard upon thee}
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 in his rageH7266 and furyH2528 commandedH560 to bringH858 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665. ThenH116 they broughtH858 theseH479 menH1400 beforeH6925 the kingH4430.
NebuchadnezzarH5020 spakeH6032 and saidH560 unto them, Is it trueH6656, O ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, do notH3809 yeH383 serveH6399 my godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which I have setH6966 up? {true: or, of purpose}
NowH3705 ifH2006 ye beH383 readyH6263 that at what timeH5732 ye hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and dulcimerH5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, ye fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the imageH6755 which I have madeH5648; well: but ifH2006 ye worshipH5457 notH3809, ye shall be castH7412 the same hourH8160 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861; and whoH4479 is that GodH426 that shall deliverH7804 you out ofH4481 my handsH3028?
ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the kingH4430, O NebuchadnezzarH5020, weH586 are notH3809 carefulH2818 to answerH8421 thee inH5922 thisH1836 matterH6600.
IfH2006 it be so, our GodH426 whom weH586 serveH6399 isH383 ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us fromH4481 the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, andH4481 he will deliverH7804 us out ofH4481 thine handH3028, O kingH4430.
But ifH2006 notH3809, be itH1934 knownH3046 unto thee, O kingH4430, that we willH383 notH3809 serveH6399 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which thou hast set upH6966.
ThenH116 answeredH6032 they and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, That DanielH1841, which is ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, regardethH7761+H2942 notH3809 theeH5922, O kingH4430, nor the decreeH633 that thou hast signedH7560, but makethH1156 his petitionH1159 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118.
And the kingH4430 commandedH560, and they broughtH858 thoseH479 menH1400 which had accusedH399+H7170 DanielH1841, and they castH7412 them into the denH1358 of lionsH744, themH581, their childrenH1123, and their wivesH5389; and the lionsH744 had the masteryH5705+H7981 of them, and brakeH1855 allH3606 their bonesH1635 in piecesH1855 or everH3809 they cameH4291 at the bottomH773 of the denH1358.
