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 they shall coverH3680 the faceH5869 of the earthH776, that one cannot be ableH3201 to seeH7200 the earthH776: and they shall eatH398 the residueH3499 of that which is escapedH6413, which remainethH7604 unto you from the hailH1259, and shall eatH398 every treeH6086 which growethH6779 for you out of the fieldH7704: {face: Heb. eye}

And the locustsH697 went upH5927 over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and restedH5117 in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714: veryH3966 grievousH3515 were they; beforeH6440 them there were no suchH3651 locustsH697 as they, neither afterH310 them shall be such.
For they coveredH3680 the faceH5869 of the whole earthH776, so that the landH776 was darkenedH2821; and they did eatH398 every herbH6212 of the landH776, and all the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 which the hailH1259 had leftH3498: and there remainedH3498 not any green thingH3418 in the treesH6086, or in the herbsH6212 of the fieldH7704, through all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

For a nationH1471 is come upH5927 upon my landH776, strongH6099, and without numberH4557, whose teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lionH738, and he hath the cheek teethH4973 of a great lionH3833.
He hath laidH7760 my vineH1612 wasteH8047, and barkedH7111 my fig treeH8384: he hath made it cleanH2834 bareH2834, and cast it awayH7993; the branchesH8299 thereof are made whiteH3835. {barked…: Heb. laid my fig tree for a barking}
They shall runH7323 like mighty menH1368; they shall climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH582 of warH4421; and they shall marchH3212 every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and they shall not breakH5670 their ranksH734:
Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766 anotherH251; they shall walkH3212 every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307 upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214. {sword: or, dart}
They shall run to and froH8264 in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323 upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927 upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935 at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:
And the LORDH3068 shall utterH5414 his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH2428: for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227: for he is strongH6099 that executethH6213 his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terribleH3372; and who can abideH3557 it?
And I will restoreH7999 to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398, the cankerwormH3218, and the caterpillerH2625, and the palmerwormH1501, my greatH1419 armyH2428 which I sentH7971 among you.
AndG2532 there cameG1831 out ofG1537 the smokeG2586 locustsG200 uponG1519 the earthG1093: andG2532 unto themG846 was givenG1325 powerG1849, asG5613 the scorpionsG4651 of the earthG1093 haveG2192 powerG1849.
AndG2532 it was commandedG4483 themG846 thatG3363 they shouldG91 notG3363 hurtG91 the grassG5528 of the earthG1093, neitherG3761 anyG3956 green thingG5515, neitherG3761 anyG3956 treeG1186; butG1508 onlyG3441 those menG444 whichG3748 haveG2192 notG3756 the sealG4973 of GodG2316 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359.
AndG2532 to themG846 it was givenG1325 thatG3363 they shouldG615 notG3363 killG615 themG846, butG235 thatG2443 they should be tormentedG928 fiveG4002 monthsG3376: andG2532 theirG846 tormentG929 was asG5613 the tormentG929 of a scorpionG4651, whenG3752 he strikethG3817 a manG444.
AndG2532 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 shall menG444 seekG2212 deathG2288, andG2532 shallG2147 notG3756 findG2147 itG846; andG2532 shall desireG1937 to dieG599, andG2532 deathG2288 shall fleeG5343 fromG575 themG846.
AndG2532 the shapesG3667 of the locustsG200 were likeG3664 unto horsesG2462 preparedG2090 untoG1519 battleG4171; andG2532 onG1909 theirG846 headsG2776 were as it wereG5613 crownsG4735 likeG3664 goldG5557, andG2532 theirG846 facesG4383 were asG5613 the facesG4383 of menG444.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 hairG2359 asG5613 the hairG2359 of womenG1135, andG2532 theirG846 teethG3599 wereG2258 asG5613 the teeth of lionsG3023.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 breastplatesG2382, as it wereG5613 breastplatesG2382 of ironG4603; andG2532 the soundG5456 of theirG846 wingsG4420 was asG5613 the soundG5456 of chariotsG716 of manyG4183 horsesG2462 runningG5143 toG1519 battleG4171.
