1	The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake# unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
			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. [have: Heb. know]
			4	Who hath ascended up# into heaven, 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 son's name, if thou canst tell# ?
			5	Every word of God is pure# : he is a shield unto them that put their trust# in him. [pure: Heb. purified]
			6	Add# thou not unto his words, lest he reprove# thee, and thou be found a liar# .
			7	Two things have I required# of thee; deny# me them not before I die# : [deny...: Heb. withhold not from me]
			8	Remove far# from me vanity and lies# : give# me neither poverty nor riches; feed# me with food convenient for me: [convenient...: Heb. of my allowance]
			9	Lest I be full# , and deny# thee , and say# , Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor# , and steal# , and take# the name of my God in vain . [deny...: Heb. belie thee]
			10	Accuse# not a servant unto his master, lest he curse# thee, and thou be found guilty# . [Accuse...: Heb. Hurt not with thy tongue]
			11	There is a generation that curseth# their father, and doth not bless# their mother.
			12	There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed# from their filthiness.
			13	There is a generation, O 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 horseleach hath two daughters, crying , Give# , give# . There are three things that are never satisfied# , yea , four things say# not, It is enough: [It is...: Heb. Wealth]
			16	The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled# with water; and the fire that saith# not, It is enough.
			17	The eye that mocketh# at his father, and despiseth# to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out# , and the young eagles shall eat# it. [the valley: or, the brook]
			18	There be three things which are too wonderful# for me, yea, four which I know# not:
			19	The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. [midst: Heb. heart]
			20	Such is the way of an adulterous# woman; she eateth# , and wipeth# her mouth, and saith# , 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 reigneth# ; and a fool when he is filled# with meat;
			23	For an odious# woman when she is married# ; and an handmaid that is heir# to her mistress.
			24	There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding# wise: [exceeding...: Heb. wise, made wise]
			25	The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare# their meat in the summer;
			26	The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make# they their houses in the rocks;
			27	The locusts have no king, yet go they forth# all of them by bands# ; [by...: Heb. gathered together]
			28	The spider taketh hold# with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
			29	There be three things which go well# , yea, four are comely# in going# :
			30	A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away# for any;
			31	A greyhound# ; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up. [greyhound: or, horse: Heb. girt in the loins]
			32	If thou hast done foolishly# in lifting up# thyself, or if thou hast thought evil# , lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
			33	Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth# butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth# blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth# strife.
