1456 Proverbs 30
for though he understand he will not answer.
Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words?
There is more hope of a fool than of him.
He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child
shall have him become his son at the length.
An angry man stirreth up strife,
and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
A man’s pride shall bring him low :
but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul :
he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
The fear of man bringeth a snare :
but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
Many seek the ruler’s favor ;
but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord.
An unjust man is an abomination to the just :
and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.30The Observations of AgurThe words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy.
The man spake unto Ithiel,
even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
Surely I am more brutish than any man,
and have not the understanding of a man.
I neither learned wisdom,
nor have the knowledge of the holy.
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?
Every word of God is pure :202122232425262712345
