Agur's confession of faith.1 ¶ The wordsº of Agurº the sonº of Jakeh,º [even] the prophecy:º the manº spakeºª unto Ithiel,º even unto Ithielº and Ucal,º 2 Surely² I² [am] more brutishº than [any] man,º² and have not² the understandingº of a man.º 3 I neither² learnedºª wisdom,º nor haveºª the knowledgeº of the holy.º 4 Who² hath ascended upºª into heaven,º or descended?ºª who² hath gatheredºª the windº in his fists?º who² hath boundºª the watersº in a garment?º who² hath establishedºª all² the endsº of the earth?º what² [is] his name,º and what² [is] his son'sº name,º if² thou canst tell?ºª 5 Every² wordº of Godº [is] pure:ºª he² [is] a shieldº unto them that put their trustºª in him. 6 Addºª thou not² unto² his words,º lest² he reproveºª thee, and thou be found a liar.ºª [1] Pv 31:1; 2P 1:19.

Four things hard to be known.18 There be threeº [things which] are too wonderfulºª for² me, yea, fourº which I knowºª not:² 19 The wayº of an eagleº in the air;º the wayº of a serpentº upon² a rock;º the wayº of a shipº in the midstº of the sea;º and the wayº of a manº with a maid.º 20 Such² [is] the wayº of an adulterousºª woman;º she eateth,ºª and wipethºª her mouth,º and saith,ºª I have doneºª no² wickedness.º Four things intolerable.21 For² threeº [things] the earthº is disquieted,ºª and for² fourº [which] it cannotºª² bear:ºª 22 For² a servantº when² he reigneth;ºª and a foolº when² he is filledºª with meat;º 23 For² an odiousºª [woman] when² she is married;ºª and an handmaidº that² is heirºª to her mistress.º [22] 1S 25:3, 10, 25, 36; 30:16; Pv 19:10; 28:3; Ec 10:7; Is 3:4.
