The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle. The man’s oration to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal: I am more stupid than ?any other? man, and I lack man’s ability to understand. I have not gained wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One. Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son—if you know? Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Proverbs 30:1-5
Don’t add to His words, or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar. Two things I ask of You; don’t deny them to me before I die: Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor wealth; feed me with the food I need. Otherwise, I might have too much and deny You, saying, “Who is the Lord?” or I might have nothing and steal, profaning the name of my God. Don’t slander a servant to his master or he will curse you, and you will become guilty.
Proverbs 30:6-10
There is a generation that curses its father and does not bless its mother. There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, yet is not washed from its filth. There is a generation—how haughty its eyes and pretentious its looks. There is a generation whose teeth are swords, whose fangs are knives, devouring the oppressed from the land and the needy from among mankind. The leech has two daughters: “Give, Give!”
Three things are never satisfied; four never say, “Enough!”
Proverbs 30:11-15
Sheol; a childless womb; earth, which is never satisfied with water; and fire, which never says, “Enough!” As for the eye that ridicules a father and despises obedience to a mother, may ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures eat it. Three things are beyond me; four I can’t understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a young woman. This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I’ve done nothing wrong.”
Proverbs 30:16-20
Then your light will appear like the dawn, and your recovery will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the Lord’s glory will be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:8
Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight.
Luke 24:31
For even the Messiah did not please Himself. On the contrary, as it is written, The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.
Romans 15:3
