Книга Притчей Соломоновых, Chapters 30-31, verses 1-8: Библия онлайн, New American Standard Bible == БИБЛИЯ-ЦЕНТР

Proverbs, Chapter 30

¹ The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the^aoracle.

The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:

Surely I am more stupid than any man,
And I do not have the understanding of a man.

Neither have I learned wisdom,
Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.

⁴

Who has ascended into heaven and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has wrapped the waters in^bHis garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name or His son’s name?
Surely you know!

⁵

Every word of God is tested;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

⁶

Do not add to His words
Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar.

⁷

Two things I asked of You,
Do not refuse me before I die:

⁸

Keep deception and^clies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the food that is my portion,

⁹

That I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the LORD?”
Or that I not be in want and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

¹⁰

Do not slander a slave to his master,
Or he will curse you and you will be found guilty.

¹¹

There is a^dkind of man who curses his father
And does not bless his mother.

¹²

There is a^ekind who is pure in his own eyes,
Yet is not washed from his filthiness.

¹³

There is a^fkind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

¹⁴

There is a^gkind of man whose teeth are like swords
And his jaw teeth like knives,
To devour the afflicted from the earth
And the needy from among men.

¹⁵

The leech has two daughters,
“Give,” “Give.”
There are three things that will not be satisfied,
Four that will not say, “Enough”:

¹⁶

^hSheol, and the barren womb,
Earth that is never satisfied with water,
And fire that never says, “Enough.”

¹⁷

The eye that mocks a father
Andⁱscorns a mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young eagles will eat it.

¹⁸

There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Four which I do not understand:

¹⁹

The way of an eagle in the sky,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
And the way of a man with a maid.

²⁰

This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,
And says, “I have done no wrong.”

²¹

Under three things the earth quakes,
And under four, it cannot bear up:

²²

Under a slave when he becomes king,
And a fool when he is satisfied with food,

²³

Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
And a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.

²⁴

Four things are small on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:

²⁵

The ants are not a strong people,
But they prepare their food in the summer;

²⁶

The^jshephanim are not mighty people,
Yet they make their houses in the rocks;

²⁷

The locusts have no king,
Yet all of them go out in ranks;

²⁸

The lizard you may grasp with the hands,
Yet it is in kings’ palaces.

²⁹

There are three things which are stately in their march,
Even four which are stately when they walk:

³⁰

The lion which is mighty among beasts
And does not^kretreat before any,

³¹

The^lstrutting rooster, the male goat also,
And a king when his army is with him.

³²

If you have been foolish in exalting yourself
Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.

³³

For the^mchurning of milk produces butter,
And pressing the nose brings forth blood;
So theⁿchurning of anger produces strife.

Proverbs, Chapter 31, verses 1-8

¹ The words of King Lemuel, the^aoracle which his mother taught him:

What, O my son?
And what, O son of my womb?
And what, O son of my vows?

Do not give your strength to women,
Or your ways to that which destroys kings.

⁴

It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire strong drink,

⁵

For they will drink and forget what is decreed,
And pervert the^brights of all the^cafflicted.

⁶

Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to him^dwhose life is bitter.

⁷

Let him drink and forget his poverty
And remember his trouble no more.

⁸

Open your mouth for the mute,
For the^erights of all the^funfortunate.
