Proverbs 30:1-33 MEV

[1] The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle. The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ukal: [2] Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. [3] I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. [4] Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His son, if you know? [5] Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. [6] Do not add to His words, lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar. [7] Two things I have required of you; do not deny me them before I die: [8] Remove vanity and lies far from me- give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me; [9] lest I be full, and deny You, and say, "Who is the LORD?" or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. [10] Do not accuse a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty. [11] There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless its mother. [12] There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, and yet is not washed from its filthiness. [13] There is a generation-oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. [14] 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. [15] The leech has two daughters, crying, "Give, give." There are three things that are never satisfied, indeed, four things never say, "It is enough": [16] the grave, the barren womb, the earth that is not filled with water, and the fire that never says, "It is enough." [17] The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley will pick it out, and the young eagles will eat it. [18] There are three things which are too wonderful for me, indeed, four which I do not know: [19] the way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid. [20] Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats and wipes her mouth, and says, "I have done no wickedness." [21] For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: [22] for a servant when he reigns, and a fool when he is filled with food, [23] for a hateful woman when she is married, and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress. [24] There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: [25] The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer; [26] the badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they make their houses in the rocks; [27] the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands; [28] the spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. [29] There are three things which go well, indeed, four are comely in going: [30] a lion which is strongest among beasts, and does not turn away for any; [31] a strutting rooster, a male goat also, and a king, against whom there is no rising up. [32] If you have been foolish in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, put your hand on your mouth. [33] Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood, so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.
