Proverbs Chapter 30

1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake 
unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding 
of a man.

3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.

4 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?

5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their 
trust in him.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a 
liar.

7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor 
riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be 
poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be 
found guilty.

11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless 
their mother.

12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not 
washed from their filthiness.

13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids 
are lifted up.

14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth 
as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from 
among men.

15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are 
three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is 
enough:

16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with 
water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, 
the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall 
eat it.

18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which 
I know not:

19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the 
way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her 
mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it 
cannot bear:

22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir 
to her mistress.

24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are 
exceeding wise:

25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the 
summer;

26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the 
rocks;

27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:

30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;

31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no 
rising up.

32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast 
thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing 
of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth 
strife.

Proverbs Chapter 31

1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which 
destroyeth kings.

4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor 
for princes strong drink:

5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any 
of the afflicted.

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto 
those that be of heavy hearts.

7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed 
to destruction.

9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and 
needy.

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall 
have no need of spoil.

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her 
household, and a portion to her maidens.

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands 
she planteth a vineyard.

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out 
by night.

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her 
hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her 
household are clothed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and 
purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders 
of the land.

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto 
the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time 
to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of 
kindness.

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the 
bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he 
praiseth her.

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the 
LORD, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her 
in the gates.
