chapter_Proverbs_30
Proverbs 30:1: Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the declaration, an affirmation of the man: &#8212; I have wearied myself for God, I have wearied myself for God, and am consumed. Proverbs 30:2: For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man. Proverbs 30:3: Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know. Proverbs 30:4: 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! Proverbs 30:5: Every saying of God is tried, A shield He is to those trusting in Him. Proverbs 30:6: Add not to His words, lest He reason with thee, And thou hast been found false. Proverbs 30:7: Two things I have asked from Thee, Withhold not from me before I die. Proverbs 30:8: 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, Proverbs 30:9: 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. Proverbs 30:10: Accuse not a servant unto his lord, Lest he disesteem thee, and thou be found guilty. Proverbs 30:11: A generation is, that lightly esteemeth their father, And their mother doth not bless. Proverbs 30:12: A generation &#8212; pure in their own eyes, But from their own filth not washed. Proverbs 30:13: A generation &#8212; how high are their eyes, Yea, their eyelids are lifted up. Proverbs 30:14: A generation &#8212; swords are their teeth, And knives &#8212; their jaw-teeth, To consume the poor from earth, And the needy from among men. Proverbs 30:15: To the leech are two daughters, 'Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said 'Sufficiency;' Proverbs 30:16: Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth &#8212; it is not satisfied with water, And fire &#8212; it hath not said, 'Sufficiency,' Proverbs 30:17: An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young eagles. Proverbs 30:18: Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four that I have not known: Proverbs 30:19: The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth. Proverbs 30:20: So &#8212; the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, 'I have not done iniquity.' Proverbs 30:21: For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four &#8212; it is not able to bear: Proverbs 30:22: For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread, Proverbs 30:23: For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress. Proverbs 30:24: Four are little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise: Proverbs 30:25: The ants are a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food, Proverbs 30:26: Conies are a people not strong, And they place in a rock their house, Proverbs 30:27: A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out &#8212; each one shouting, Proverbs 30:28: A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king. Proverbs 30:29: Three there are going well, Yea, four are good in going: Proverbs 30:30: An old lion &#8212; mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any, Proverbs 30:31: A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king &#8212; no rising up with him. Proverbs 30:32: If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil &#8212; hand to mouth! Proverbs 30:33: 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!
