1 The words H1697 CMP of Agur H94 the son H1121 of Jakeh H3348 , even the prophecy H4853 : the man H1397 spoke H5002 unto Ithiel H384 , even unto Ithiel H384 and Ucal H401 ,
2 Surely H3588 CONJ I H595 PPRO-1MS am more brutish H1198 than any man H376 M-NMS , and have not H3808 W-NPAR the understanding H998 of a man H120 NMS .
3 I neither H3808 W-NPAR learned H3925 wisdom H2451 NFS , nor have H3045 VQQ1MS the knowledge H1847 W-VQFC of the holy H6918 .
4 Who H4310 IPRO hath ascended up H5927 into heaven H8064 NMP , or descended H3381 ? who H4310 IPRO hath gathered H622 the wind H7307 NFS in his fists H2651 ? who H4310 IPRO hath bound H6887 the waters H4325 OMD in a garment H8071 ? who H4310 IPRO hath established H6965 all H3605 NMS the ends H657 of the earth H776 NFS ? what H4100 IPRO is his name H8034 , and what H4100 IPRO is his son H1121 CMS-3MS \'s name H8034 , if H3588 CONJ if thou canst tell H3045 ?
5 Every H3605 NMS word H565 of God H433 NAME-4MS is pure H6884 : he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a shield H4043 NMS unto them that put their trust H2620 in him .
6 Add H3254 thou not H408 NPAR unto H5921 PREP his words H1697 CMP-3MS , lest H6435 CONJ he reprove H3198 VHY3MS thee , and thou be found a liar H3576 .
7 Two H8147 MFD things have I required H7592 of thee ; deny H4513 me them not H408 NPAR before H2962 B-ADV I die H4191 :
8 Remove far H7368 from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me vanity H7723 NMS and lies H1697 : give H5414 me neither H408 NPAR poverty H7389 nor riches H6239 ; feed H2963 me with food H3899 NMS convenient H2706 for me :
9 Lest H6435 CONJ I be full H7646 , and deny H3584 thee , and say H559 W-VQQ1MS , Who H4310 IPRO is the LORD H3068 EDS ? or lest H6435 CONJ I be poor H3423 , and steal H1589 , and take H8610 the name H8034 CMS of my God H430 CMP-1MS in vain .
10 Accuse H3960 not H408 NPAR a servant H5650 NMS unto H413 PREP his master H113 , lest H6435 he curse H7043 thee , and thou be found guilty H816 .
11 There is a generation H1755 that curseth H7043 their father H1 CMS-3MS , and doth not H3808 NADV bless H1288 their mother H517 GFS-3MS .
12 There is a generation H1755 that are pure H2889 AMS in their own eyes H5869 B-CMD-3MS , and yet is not H3808 NADV washed H7364 from their filthiness H6675 .
13 There is a generation H1755 , O how H4100 IGAT lofty H7311 are their eyes H5869 CMD-3MS ! and their eyelids H6079 are lifted up H5375 .
14 There is a generation H1755 , whose teeth H8127 CMD-3MS are as swords H2719 , and their jaw teeth H4973 as knives H3979 , to devour H398 L-VQFC the poor H6041 AMP from off the earth H776 M-NFS , and the needy H34 from among men H120 .
15 The horseleach H5936 hath two H8147 ONUM daughters H1323 , crying , Give H3051 , give H3051 . There are three H7969 MFS things that are never H3808 NADV satisfied H7646 , yea , four H702 MFS things say H559 VQQ3MP not H3808 NADV , It is enough H1952 :
16 The grave H7585 NMS ; and the barren H6115 womb H7356 ; the earth H776 GFS that is not H3808 NADV filled H7646 with water H4325 ; and the fire H784 W-NMS that saith H559 VQQ3FS not H3808 NADV , It is enough H1952 .
17 The eye H5869 NMS that mocketh H3932 at his father H1 , and despiseth H936 to obey H3349 his mother H517 GFS , the ravens H6158 of the valley H5158 NMS shall pick it out H5365 , and the young H1121 CMP eagles H5404 shall eat H398 it .
18 There be three H7969 NFS things which are too wonderful H6381 for H4480 M-PREP-1MS me , yea , four H702 which I know H3045 not H3808 NADV :
19 The way H1870 NMS of an eagle H5404 in the air H8064 BD-NMP ; the way H1870 NMS of a serpent H5175 NMS upon H5921 PREP a rock H6697 NMS ; the way H1870 NMS of a ship H591 in the midst H3820 of the sea H3220 NMS ; and the way H1870 NMS of a man H1397 NMS with a maid H5959 .
20 Such H3651 ADV is the way H1870 NMS of an adulterous H5003 woman H802 NFS ; she eateth H398 VQQ3FS , and wipeth H4229 her mouth H6310 , and saith H559 , I have done H6466 no H3808 ADV wickedness H205 NMS .
21 For H8478 NMS three H7969 MFS things the earth H776 GFS is disquieted H7264 , and for H8478 NMS four H702 MFS which it cannot H3808 NADV bear H5375 :
22 For H8478 PREP a servant H5650 NMS when H3588 CONJ he reigneth H4427 ; and a fool H5036 when H3588 CONJ he is filled H7646 with meat H3899 NMS ;
23 For H8478 NMS an odious H8130 woman when H3588 CONJ she is married H1166 ; and a handmaid H8198 that H3588 CONJ is heir H3423 to her mistress H1404 .
24 There be four H702 MMS things which are little H6996 upon the earth H776 NFS , but they H1992 PPRO-3MP are exceeding wise H2449 :
25 The ants H5244 are a people H5971 NMS not H3808 NADV strong H5794 , yet they prepare H3559 their meat H3899 L-VQFC-3MP in the summer H7019 ;
26 The conies H8227 are but a feeble H6099 folk H5971 NMS , yet make H7760 W-VQY3MP they their houses H1004 in the rocks H5553 ;
27 The locusts H697 have no H369 NPAR king H4428 NMS , yet go they forth H3318 W-VQY3MS all H3605 of them by bands H2686 ;
28 The spider H8079 taketh hold H8610 with her hands H3027 , and is in kings H4428 NMS \' palaces H1964 .
29 There be three H7969 NFS things which go H6806 well H3190 , yea , four H702 are comely H3190 in going H1980 :
30 A lion H3918 NMS which is strongest H1368 AMS among beasts H929 BD-NFS , and turneth not away H3808 W-NPAR for M-CMP any H3605 ;
31 A greyhound H2223 ; a he goat H8495 also H176 CONJ ; and a king H4428 , against H5973 PREP-3MS whom there is no H408 rising up H6965 .
32 If H518 PART thou hast done foolishly H5034 in lifting up thyself H5375 , or if H518 PART thou hast thought evil H2161 , lay thine hand H3027 NFS upon thy mouth H6310 .
33 Surely H3588 CONJ the churning H4330 of milk H2461 NMS bringeth forth H3318 butter H2529 , and the wringing H4330 of the nose H639 CMS bringeth forth H3318 blood H1818 NMS : so the forcing H4330 of wrath H639 NMD bringeth forth H3318 strife H7379 .
