Proverbs 30

The sayings of **Agur ben Yaqeh**, an oracle to Itiel and Ukal, confess human ignorance compared to **YHWH**'s knowledge, affirm the purity of God's words, and request neither poverty nor riches to avoid denying or dishonoring **YHWH**[1][3][4]. The chapter lists observations of four things too wonderful (e.g., eagle's flight), four never satisfied (e.g., Sheol, barren womb), four small but wise (e.g., ants, rock badgers), four stately in gait (e.g., lion, rooster), and warns against pride, cursing parents, and stirring strife[1][2][3][4].
