1The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal.
2Surely I am more brutish than any man,
3I neither learned wisdom,
4Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?
5Every word of God is pure:
6Add thou not unto his words,
7Two things have I required of thee;
8Remove far from me vanity and lies:
9Lest I be full, and deny thee,
10Accuse not a servant unto his master,
11There is a generation that curseth their father,
12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes,
13There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes!
14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords,
15The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.
16The grave; and the barren womb;
17The eye that mocketh at his father,
18There be three things which are too wonderful for me,
19The way of an eagle in the air;
20Such is the way of an adulterous woman;
21For three things the earth is disquieted,
22For a servant when he reigneth;
23For an odious woman when she is married;
24There be 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 spider taketh hold with her hands,
29There be three things which go well,
30A lion which is strongest among beasts,
31A greyhound; a he goat also;
32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,
33Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,
