Proverbs 30:1-8

¹The words of him that gathereth, of the son spewing. The prophecy which a man spake, with whom God was, and which man was comforted by God dwelling with him, and said,

²I am the most foolish of men; and the wisdom of men is not with me.

³I learned not wisdom; and I knew not the knowing of holy men.

⁴Who ascended or went up into heaven, and came down? Who held together the spirit or wind in his hands? who bound together waters as in a cloth? Who raised up all the ends of the earth? What is the name of him? and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?

⁵Each word of God is a shield set afire, to all that hope in him.

⁶Add thou not anything to the words of him, and thou be reproved, and be found a liar.

⁷I prayed thee for two things; deny not thou them to me, before that I die.

⁸Make thou far from me vanity and words of leasing; give thou not to me begging and riches; but give thou only necessaries to my lifelode;
