1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the burden. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:
|
������� ����� ������� �������; �� �����-������ ����� ���.
|
2 Surely I am brutish, unlike a man, and have not the understanding of a man;
|
��������-���������� �������; �� ������� ��������� �����.
|
3 And I have not learned wisdom, that I should have the knowledge of the Holy One.

4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? {N} Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? {N} Who hath established all the ends of the earth? {N} What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?

5 Every word of God is tried; He is a shield unto them that take refuge in Him.

6 Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. {P}

7 Two things have I asked of Thee; deny me them not before I die:
|
��������� �������-������, ������� ���������-- �� ����� ��������, ���-�������-���; ������������, �� ����� ������.
|
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; {N} feed me with mine allotted bread;
|
������� ���������, �������������-- �� ������������, ��� ������: �����-��������� ������������; �� �������������, ���� �������.
|
9 Lest I be full, and deny, and say: 'Who is the LORD?' {N} Or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God. {P}

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

11 There is a generation that curse their father, and do not bless their mother.
|
���������, ������ ����������; �� ������������, ��� �����.
|
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
|
���������, ���-����� �������; �� �������������, �����������.
|
13 There is a generation, Oh how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
|
���������, �������� ��������-- �� ������������ �������������: ������� ��������� �������; �� �������������, �������.
|
14 There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their great teeth as knives, {N} to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

15 The horseleech hath two daughters: 'Give, give.' {N} There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four that say not: 'Enough':
|
�����������, �������-�����: �� �����, ���-�������� ������; ������, ���-������� ����.
|
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that saith not: 'Enough.'

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

18 There are 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; {N} the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.
|
�������, ������� �������-- �� ���������: �������, ��������� �����; �� ���������, ���-���������� �����.
|
20 So is the way of an adulterous woman; {N} she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: 'I have done no wickedness.' {P}
|
���������� ��������, ������� �����; �� ������� ��������, ���-������ ������.

21 For three things the earth doth quake, and for four it cannot endure:
|
����������-�����, ���� ���������; �� �������, ���� ���������-�����.
|
22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a churl when he is filled with food;
|
���������� ���������, ���� ��������; �� ����������, ���� ������� ������������.
|
23 For an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress. {P}

�������������� ���, ��������-�����; �� ��������, �������� �����������.
|
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
|
���������������, ��� ���-���; �� ����������� �������� �������.
|
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
|
��������������, ��� ���-������; �� ������������ �������� �������.
|
26 The rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the crags;
|
����������, ���� ����������; �� �������� ����� �������.
|
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
|
�������������, ���������� ����������; �� ������, ����������� ������.
|
28 The spider thou canst take with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces. {P}
|
������������� ������, ��������� �����; �� ������������, �������� �����.
|
29 There are three things which are stately in their march, yea, four which are stately in going:
|
���������, �������� �����������; �� �����-�������, ��������-���.
|
30 The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
|
������������ ��������� ���-������; �� ��������, �������� ������.
|
31 The greyhound; the he-goat also; and the king, against whom there is no rising up.
|
�������-��������� �������������; �� �����-��������, ��� �����.
|
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast planned devices, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
|
�������� ���� �����, ������� �������-- �� ������-���, ������� ���; ������ ��������, �� ������� ����.
|
33 For the churning of milk bringeth forth curd, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; {N} so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. {P}
