Proverbs 30

1

to Ithiel and Ucal:

2

and don’t have a man’s understanding.

3

neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.

4

What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you know?

5

He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

6

lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.

7

Don’t deny me before I die.

8

Feed me with the food that is needful for me,

9

and so dishonor the name of my God.

10

lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

11

and doesn’t bless their mother.

12

yet are not washed from their filthiness.

13

Their eyelids are lifted up.

14

to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.

15

four that don’t say, ‘Enough:’

16

and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough.’

17

the young eagles shall eat it.

18

four which I don’t understand:

19

and the way of a man with a maiden.

20

and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’

21

and under four, it can’t bear up:

22

a fool when he is filled with food,

23

and a servant who is heir to her mistress.

24

but they are exceedingly wise:

25

yet they provide their food in the summer.

26

yet make they their houses in the rocks.

27

yet they advance in ranks.

28

yet it is in kings’ palaces.

29

four which are stately in going:

30

and doesn’t turn away for any;

31

and the king against whom there is no rising up.

32

put your hand over your mouth.

33

so the forcing of wrath produces strife.”
