CHAP. XXX.
1 Agurs confession of his faith. 7 The two points of his prayer. 10 The meanest are not to bee wronged. 11 Foure wicked generations. 15 Foure things insatiable. 17 Parents are not to bee despised. 18 Foure things hard to be knowen, 21 Foure things vntollerable. 24 Foure things exceeding wise. 29 Foure things stately. 32 Wrath is to bee preuented.
2Surely I am more brutish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man.
3I neither learned wisedome, nor haue the knowledge of the holy.3
4Who hath ascended vp into heauen, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?4
5Euery word of God is pure: he is a shield vnto them that put their trust in him.5
6Adde thou not vnto his words, lest he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.6
7Two things haue I required of thee, deny me them not before I die.7
8Remoue farre from mee vanity, and lyes; giue me neither pouerty, nor riches, feede me with food conuenient for me.8
9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poore, and steale, and take the name of my God in vaine.9
10Accuse not a seruant vnto his master; lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.10
11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not blesse their mother.
13There is a generation, O howe lofty are their eyes! and their eye-lids are lifted vp.13
14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their iaw-teeth as kniues, to deuoure the poore from off the earth, and the needy from among men.14
15The horse-leach hath two daughters, crying, Giue, giue. There are three things that are neuer satisfied, yea foure things say not, It is enough:15
17The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother; the rauens of the valley shall picke it out, and the young Eagles shall eate it.17
18There be three things which are too wonderfull for me; yea foure, which I know not:
19The way of an Eagle in the ayre; the way of a serpent vpon a rocke; the the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.19
21For three things the earth is disquieted, and for foure which it cannot beare:
22For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when hee is filled with meate:22
23For an odious woman when shee is married, and an handmayd that is heire to her mistresse.
24There be foure things which are little vpon the earth; but they are exceeding wise:24
25The Ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meate in the summer.25
26The conies are but a feeble folke, yet make they their houses in the rocks
27The locustes haue no king, yet goe they forth all of them by bands.27
28The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings palaces.
29There be three things which goe well, yea foure are comely in going:
30A lyon which is strongest among beastes, and turneth not away for any:
31A gray-hound; an hee-goate also; and a king, against whom there is no rising vp.31
32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting vp thy selfe, or if thou hast thought euill, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.32
