1The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the oracle.
2Surely I am more brutish than any man,
3And I have not learned wisdom,
4Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended?
5Every word of God is tried:
6Add thou not unto his words,
7Two things have I asked of thee;
8Remove far from me falsehood and lies;
9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah?
10Slander not a servant unto his master,
11There is a generation that curse their father,
12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes,
13There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes!
14There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives,
15The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.
16Sheol; and the barren womb;
17The eye that mocketh at his father,
18There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
19The way of an eagle in the air;
20So is the way of an adulterous woman;
21For three things the earth doth tremble,
22For a servant when he is king;
23For an odious woman when she is married;
24There are four things which are little upon the earth,
25The ants are a people not strong,
26The conies are but a feeble folk,
27The locusts have no king,
28The lizard taketh hold with her hands,
29There are three things which are stately in their march,
30The lion, which is mightiest among beasts,
31The greyhound; the he-goat also;
32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,
33For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,
