Proverbs 30 — GNV

30Verse 1THE WORDS OF AGUR THE SONNE OF JAKEH. The prophecie which ye man spake vnto Ithiel, euen to Ithiel, and Vcal.^{Verse 2}Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me.^{Verse 3}For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things.^{Verse 4}Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?^{Verse 5}Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.^{Verse 6}Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.^{Verse 7}Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die.^{Verse 8}Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me,^{Verse 9}Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.^{Verse 10}Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended.^{Verse 11}There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother.^{Verse 12}There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse.^{Verse 13}There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.^{Verse 14}There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men.^{Verse 15}The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.^{Verse 16}The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough.^{Verse 17}The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.^{Verse 18}There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,^{Verse 19}The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.^{Verse 20}Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.^{Verse 21}For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:^{Verse 22}For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,^{Verse 23}For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.^{Verse 24}These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome:^{Verse 25}The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:^{Verse 26}The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:^{Verse 27}The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:^{Verse 28}The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.^{Verse 29}There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,^{Verse 30}A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:^{Verse 31}A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.^{Verse 32}If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.^{Verse 33}When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.
