- 1The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,דִּבְרֵ֤י אָג֥וּר בִּן יָקֶ֗ה הַמַּ֫שָּׂ֥א נְאֻ֣ם הַ֭גֶּבֶר לְאִֽיתִיאֵ֑ל לְאִ֖יתִיאֵ֣ל וְאֻכָֽל
- 2Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.כִּ֤י בַ֣עַר אָנֹכִ֣י מֵאִ֑ישׁ וְלֹֽא בִינַ֖ת אָדָ֣ם
- 3I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.וְלֹֽא לָמַ֥דְתִּי חָכְמָ֑ה וְדַ֖עַת קְדֹשִׁ֣ים אֵדָֽע
- 4Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?מִ֤י עָלָֽה שָׁמַ֨יִם וַיֵּרַ֡ד מִ֤י אָֽסַף ר֨וּחַ בְּחָפְנָ֡יו מִ֤י צָֽרַר מַ֨יִם בַּשִּׂמְלָ֗ה מִ֭י הֵקִ֣ים כָּל אַפְסֵי אָ֑רֶץ מַה שְּׁמ֥וֹ וּמַֽה שֶּׁם בְּ֝נ֗וֹ כִּ֣י תֵדָֽע
- 5Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.כָּל אִמְרַ֣ת אֱל֣וֹהַּ צְרוּפָ֑ה מָגֵ֥ן ה֝֗וּא לַֽחֹסִ֥ים
- 6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.אַל תּ֥וֹסְףְּ עַל דְּבָרָ֑יו פֶּן יוֹכִ֖יחַ וְנִכְזָֽבְתָּ
- 7Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:שְׁ֭תַּיִם שָׁאַ֣לְתִּי מֵאִתָּ֑ךְ אַל תִּמְנַ֥ע מִ֝מֶּ֗נִּי בְּטֶ֣רֶם אָמֽוּת
- 8Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:שָׁ֤וְא וּֽדְבַר כָּזָ֡ב הַרְחֵ֬ק מִמֶּ֗נִּי רֵ֣אשׁ וָ֭עֹשֶׁר אַל תִּֽתֶּן הַ֝טְרִיפֵ֗נִי לֶ֣חֶם חֻקִּֽי
- 9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.פֶּ֥ן אֶשְׂבַּ֨ע וְכִחַשְׁתִּי֮ וְאָמַ֗רְתִּי מִ֥י יְה֫וָ֥ה וּפֶֽן אִוָּרֵ֥שׁ וְגָנַ֑בְתִּי וְ֝תָפַ֗שְׂתִּי שֵׁ֣ם אֱלֹהָֽי
- 10Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.אַל תַּלְשֵׁ֣ן עֶ֭בֶד אֶל אדנו אֲדֹנָ֑יו פֶּֽן יְקַלֶּלְךָ֥ וְאָשָֽׁמְתָּ
- 11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.דּ֭וֹר אָבִ֣יו יְקַלֵּ֑ל וְאֶת אִ֝מּ֗וֹ לֹ֣א יְבָרֵֽךְ
- 12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.דּ֭וֹר טָה֣וֹר בְּעֵינָ֑יו וּ֝מִצֹּאָת֗וֹ לֹ֣א רֻחָֽץ
- 13There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.דּ֭וֹר מָה רָמ֣וּ עֵינָ֑יו וְ֝עַפְעַפָּ֗יו יִנָּשֵֽׂאוּ
- 14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.דּ֤וֹר חֲרָב֣וֹת שִׁנָּיו֮ וּֽמַאֲכָל֪וֹת מְֽתַלְּעֹ֫תָ֥יו לֶאֱכֹ֣ל עֲנִיִּ֣ים מֵאֶ֑רֶץ וְ֝אֶבְיוֹנִ֗ים מֵאָדָֽם
- 15The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:לַֽעֲלוּקָ֨ה שְׁתֵּ֥י בָנוֹת֮ הַ֤ב הַ֥ב שָׁל֣וֹשׁ הֵ֭נָּה לֹ֣א תִשְׂבַּ֑עְנָה אַ֝רְבַּ֗ע לֹא אָ֥מְרוּ הֽוֹן
- 16The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.שְׁאוֹל֮ וְעֹ֪צֶ֫ר רָ֥חַם אֶ֭רֶץ לֹא שָׂ֣בְעָה מַּ֑יִם וְ֝אֵ֗שׁ לֹא אָ֥מְרָה הֽוֹן
- 17The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.עַ֤יִן תִּֽלְעַ֣ג לְאָב֮ וְתָב֪וּז לִֽיקֲּהַ֫ת אֵ֥ם יִקְּר֥וּהָ עֹרְבֵי נַ֑חַל וְֽיֹאכְל֥וּהָ בְנֵי נָֽשֶׁר
- 18There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה הֵ֭מָּה נִפְלְא֣וּ מִמֶּ֑נִּי וארבע וְ֝אַרְבָּעָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְדַעְתִּֽים
- 19The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.דֶּ֤רֶךְ הַנֶּ֨שֶׁר בַּשָּׁמַיִם֮ דֶּ֥רֶךְ נָחָ֗שׁ עֲלֵ֫י צ֥וּר דֶּֽרֶךְ אֳנִיָּ֥ה בְלֶב יָ֑ם וְדֶ֖רֶךְ גֶּ֣בֶר בְּעַלְמָֽה
- 20Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.כֵּ֤ן דֶּ֥רֶךְ אִשָּׁ֗ה מְנָ֫אָ֥פֶת אָ֭כְלָה וּמָ֣חֲתָה פִ֑יהָ וְ֝אָמְרָ֗ה לֹֽא פָעַ֥לְתִּי אָֽוֶן
- 21For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:תַּ֣חַת שָׁ֭לוֹשׁ רָ֣גְזָה אֶ֑רֶץ וְתַ֥חַת אַ֝רְבַּ֗ע לֹא תוּכַ֥ל שְׂאֵֽת
- 22For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;תַּֽחַת עֶ֭בֶד כִּ֣י יִמְל֑וֹךְ וְ֝נָבָ֗ל כִּ֣י יִֽשְׂבַּֽע לָֽחֶם
- 23For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.תַּ֣חַת שְׂ֭נוּאָה כִּ֣י תִבָּעֵ֑ל וְ֝שִׁפְחָ֗ה כִּֽי תִירַ֥שׁ גְּבִרְתָּֽהּ
- 24There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:אַרְבָּ֣עָה הֵ֭ם קְטַנֵּי אָ֑רֶץ וְ֝הֵ֗מָּה חֲכָמִ֥ים מְחֻכָּמִֽים
- 25The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;הַ֭נְּמָלִים עַ֣ם לֹא עָ֑ז וַיָּכִ֖ינוּ בַקַּ֣יִץ לַחְמָֽם
- 26The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;שְׁ֭פַנִּים עַ֣ם לֹא עָצ֑וּם וַיָּשִׂ֖ימוּ בַסֶּ֣לַע בֵּיתָֽם
- 27The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;מֶ֭לֶךְ אֵ֣ין לָאַרְבֶּ֑ה וַיֵּצֵ֖א חֹצֵ֣ץ כֻּלּֽוֹ
- 28The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.שְׂ֭מָמִית בְּיָדַ֣יִם תְּתַפֵּ֑שׂ וְ֝הִ֗יא בְּהֵ֣יכְלֵי מֶֽלֶךְ
- 29There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה הֵ֭מָּה מֵיטִ֣יבֵי צָ֑עַד וְ֝אַרְבָּעָ֗ה מֵיטִ֥בֵי לָֽכֶת
- 30A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;לַ֭יִשׁ גִּבּ֣וֹר בַּבְּהֵמָ֑ה וְלֹא יָ֝שׁ֗וּב מִפְּנֵי כֹֽל
- 31A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.זַרְזִ֣יר מָתְנַ֣יִם אוֹ תָ֑יִשׁ וּ֝מֶ֗לֶךְ אַלְק֥וּם עִמּֽוֹ
- 32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.אִם נָבַ֥לְתָּ בְהִתְנַשֵּׂ֑א וְאִם זַ֝מּ֗וֹתָ יָ֣ד לְפֶֽה
- 33Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.כִּ֤י מִ֪יץ חָלָ֡ב י֘וֹצִ֤יא חֶמְאָ֗ה וּֽמִיץ אַ֭ף י֣וֹצִיא דָ֑ם וּמִ֥יץ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם י֣וֹצִיא רִֽיב

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
