The Words of Agur
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle. The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; The oracle. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:1 The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said: 1 Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the declaration, an affirmation of the man: -- I have wearied myself for God, I have wearied myself for God, and am consumed.
2 Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man.2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;2 I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me. 2 For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man.
3 Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.3 And I have not learned wisdom, Neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One.3 I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints. 3 Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know.
4 Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son's name? Surely you know!4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?4 Who 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?4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest? 4 Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What is His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!
5 Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.5 Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.5 Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him. 5 Every saying of God is tried, A shield He is to those trusting in Him.
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
6 Do not add to His words Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar.6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.6 Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.6 Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar: 6 Add not to His words, lest He reason with thee, And thou hast been found false.
7 Two things I asked of You, Do not refuse me before I die:7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:7 Two things have I asked of thee; Deny me them not before I die:7 Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die. 7 Two things I have asked from Thee, Withhold not from me before I die.
8 Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion,8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:8 Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life: 8 Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,
9 That I not be full and deny You and say, "Who is the LORD?" Or that I not be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God.9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.9 Lest 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.9 Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God. 9 Lest I become satiated, and have denied, And have said, 'Who is Jehovah?' And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of the name of my God.
10 Do not slander a slave to his master, Or he will curse you and you will be found guilty.10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.10 Slander not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall. 10 Accuse not a servant unto his lord, Lest he disesteem thee, and thou be found guilty.

31 The strutting rooster, the male goat also, And a king when his army is with him.31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.31 The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.31 A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist. 31 A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king -- no rising up with him.
32 If you have been foolish in exalting yourself Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, Lay thy hand upon thy mouth.32 There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth. 32 If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth!
33 For the churning of milk produces butter, And pressing the nose brings forth blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.33 For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.33 And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife. 33 For the churning of milk bringeth out butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood, And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife!
