The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; The oracle. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:

Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the declaration, an affirmation of the man: I have wearied myself [for] God, I have wearied myself [for] God, and am consumed.

The words of Agur, the son of Jakeh, from Massa. The man says: I am full of weariness, O God, I am full of weariness; O God, I have come to an end:

The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:

Proverbs 30:2

Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;

For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man.

I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.

Proverbs 30:3

And I have not learned wisdom, Neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One.

Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What [is] His name? and what His son`s name? Surely thou knowest!

Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?

Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?

Proverbs 30:5

Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.

Every saying of God [is] tried, A shield He [is] to those trusting in Him.

Every word of God is tested: he is a breastplate to those who put their faith in him.

Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.

Proverbs 30:6

Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:

Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,

Put far from me all false and foolish things: do not give me great wealth or let me be in need, but give me only enough food:

Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:

Proverbs 30:9

Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.

Lest I become satiated, and have denied, And have said, `Who [is] Jehovah?` And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of the name of my God.

For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly.

Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
