Proverbs

¹The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; The oracle. The man saith 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, 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.
