Proverbs 30:1-8

¹Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the declaration, an affirmation of the man: — I have wearied myself for God, I have wearied myself for God, and am consumed.

²For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man.

³Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know.

⁴Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What is His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

⁵Every saying of God is tried, A shield He is to those trusting in Him.

⁶Add not to His words, lest He reason with thee, And thou hast been found false.

⁷Two things I have asked from Thee, Withhold not from me before I die.

⁸Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,
