Proverbs 30 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1The words of Agur the son of

The man saith

Or, as otherwise read, I have wearied myself, O God, I have wearied myself, O God, and am consumed: For I am etc.

unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:

2Surely I am more brutish than any man,

And have not the understanding of a man;

3And I have not learned wisdom,

⁎

Or, That I should have the knowledge etc.

Neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One.

4Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended?

Who hath gathered the wind in his fists?

Who hath bound the waters in his garment?

Who hath established all the ends of the earth?

What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou knowest?

5Every word of God is

tried:

He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.

6Add thou not unto his words,

Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

7Two things have I asked of thee;

Deny me them not before I die:

8Remove far from me falsehood and lies;

Give me neither poverty nor riches;

Feed me with

⁎

Hebrew the bread of my portion.

the food that is needful for me:

9Lest 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.

10Slander not a servant unto his master,

Lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.

11There is a generation that curse their father,

And bless not their mother.

12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes,

And yet are not washed from their filthiness.

13There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes!

And their eyelids are lifted up.

14There 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.

15The

crying, Give, give.

There are three things that are never satisfied,

Yea, four that say not, Enough:

16Sheol; and the barren womb;

The earth that is not satisfied with water;

And the fire that saith not, Enough.

17The eye that mocketh at his father,

And despiseth to obey his mother,

The ravens of

the valley shall pick it out,

And the

Or, vultures

young eagles shall eat it.

18There are three things which are too wonderful for me,

Yea, four which I know not:

19The 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 maiden.

20So is the way of an adulterous woman;

She eateth, and wipeth her mouth,

And saith, I have done no wickedness.

Hebrew Under.

For three things the earth doth tremble,

And for four, which it cannot bear:

22For a servant when he is king;

And a fool when he is filled with food;

23For an odious woman when she is married;

And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

24There are four things which are little upon the earth,

But they are exceeding wise:

25The ants are a people not strong,

Yet they provide their food in the summer;

26The conies are but a feeble folk,

Yet make they their houses in the rocks;

27The locusts have no king,

Yet go they forth all of them by bands;

Yet is she in kings’ palaces.

29There are three things which are stately in their march,

Yea, four which are stately in going:

30The lion, which is mightiest among beasts,

And turneth not away for any;

And the king

against whom there is no rising up.

32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,

Or if thou hast thought evil,

Lay thy hand upon thy mouth.

And the

So the

forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
