RF PRO 30:1 THE SPEECHES OF AGUR-BEN-JAKEH;
THE RIGHTEOUS;

THE MESSAGE HE DELIVERED TO THE ATHEIST AND WASTER.
RF PRO 30:2 Though I am but an ignorant man,
And have not the genius of Adam;
RF PRO 30:3 Although I have never learnt Wisdom,
Nor know of the science Divine,
RF PRO 30:4 Of who mounts the skies and descends,
Who gathers the wind in his grasp,
Who spreads out the seas like a sheet,
Who fixes the bounds of the earth,—
What is His Name? and the name of His Son?—
Do you know?
RF PRO 30:5 Rely on the promise of GOD,—
He shields all who trust upon Him,—
RF PRO 30:6 Add nothing to what He commands.
Lest for falsification you suffer.
RF PRO 30:7 The Desire of the Wise.
I will ask two things from you,—
Take them not from me till death,—
RF PRO 30:8 Move delusion and falsehood afar,
Nor poverty give me, nor wealth,
But feed with the bread that I need,—
RF PRO 30:9 Not full, for fear I forget,
And cry, "Tell me, Who is the LORD?
Or I become poor, and should steal,
And rebel at the name of my GOD.
RF PRO 30:10 Advice as to Conduct.
To his Master, accuse not a servant,
Lest he curse you, and you are in wrong.
RF PRO 30:11 On Depravity and Deceit.
There is an age that curses its fathers,
And that cares not its mothers to bless;
RF PRO 30:12 An age in its own eyes perfect,
But never cleansed from its filth!—
RF PRO 30:13 An age,—how haughty its glances!
And its eyelids,—how lifted up
RF PRO 30:14 An age,—with swords for its teeth,
And for its jaw-teeth,—sharp knives,
To devour the weak of the earth,
And the wretched among mankind.
RF PRO 30:15 On Greed.
Lust possesses two daughters,
Who cry "Give! Give!"
There are three that are never glutted,
A fourth that says not "Enough."
RF PRO 30:16 The grave, and the closed-up womb;
The earth unsated with water;
And fire, that says not "Enough!"
RF PRO 30:17 On Filial Disobedience.
The eye that laughs at its father,
That disdains to obey its mother,
The crow of the vale shall pick out
And the eagle's young shall eat it.
RF PRO 30:18 Four Problems.
To me these three are a wonder;
And a fourth I understand not;
RF PRO 30:19 The path of an eagle in air;
The road of a snake on a rock;
The course of a ship through the sea;
And the power of the man over woman;
RF PRO 30:20 And the way of a faithless wife,
When she wipes her mouth and exclaims,
"I have not committed a sin"
RF PRO 30:21 Unendurable things.
A land trembles under these three,—
And under a fourth rests not;—
RF PRO 30:22 Under a slave when he rules;
And a brute who is gorged with his food;
RF PRO 30:23 And a hateful woman when married;
And a servant heir to her mistress.
RF PRO 30:24 Four Wise Creatures.
These four are small on the earth,
But they are the wisest of wise;—
RF PRO 30:25 The Ants are a People not strong,
Yet in summer they store up their bread;
RF PRO 30:26 Rabbits, are not a powerful race,
But they settle their homes in the rocks;
RF PRO 30:27 The Locusts have not any king,
Yet they all go out by their troops;
RF PRO 30:28 A Spider you catch with your hands;
Yet she dwells in the mansions of kings!
RF PRO 30:29 The Four Stately Creatures.
These three are stately in step;—
And a fourth is grand in its walk;
RF PRO 30:30 The Lion, the strongest of beasts,
That turns not his face from the whole;
RF PRO 30:31 A greyhound, as well as a goat,
And a king at the head of his troops!
RF PRO 30:32 A Final Caution.
If you have displayed your folly,
And if you have blundered,—keep still.
RF PRO 30:33 For churned milk produces butter,
And wringing the nose brings blood,
So churning anger produces strife.
