Proverbs 30

1: The words of Agur, son of Jakeh the Massaite: The pronouncement of mortal man: "I am not God; I am not God, that I should prevail.

2: Why, I am the most stupid of men, and have not even human intelligence;

3: Neither have I learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy One.

4: Who has gone up to heaven and come down again~who has cupped the wind in his hands?  Who has bound up the waters in a cloak~ who has marked out all the ends of the earth?  What is his name, what is his son's name, if you know it?"

5: Every word of God is tested; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

6: Add nothing to his words, lest he reproved you, and you be exposed as a deciever.

7: Two things I ask of you, deny them not to me before I die:

8: Put falsehood and lying far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; (provide me only with the food I need:)

9: Lest, being full, I deny you, saying, "Who is the Lord?" Or, being in want, I steal, and profane the name of my God.
