Proverbs 30-31

Pro 30:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle: the man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:

Pro 30:2 "Surely I am the most ignorant man, and don't have a man's understanding.

Pro 30:3 I have not learned wisdom, neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.

Pro 30:4 Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if you know?

Pro 30:5 "Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Pro 30:6 Don't you add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.

Pro 30:7 "Two things I have asked of you; don't deny me before I die:

Pro 30:8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me;

Pro 30:9 lest I be full, deny you, and say, 'Who is Yahweh?' or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

Pro 30:10 "Don't slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

Pro 30:11 There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn't bless their mother.

Pro 30:12 There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

Pro 30:13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.

Pro 30:14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.

Pro 30:15 "The leach has two daughters: 'Give, give.' "There are three things that are never satisfied; four that don't say, 'Enough:'

Pro 30:17 "The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.

Pro 30:18 "There are three things which are too amazing for me, four which I don't understand:

Pro 30:19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maiden.

Pro 30:20 "So is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says, 'I have done nothing wrong.'

Pro 30:21 "For three things the earth tremble, and under four, it can't bear up:

Pro 30:23 for an unloved woman when she is married; and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.

Pro 30:24 "There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:

Pro 30:25 the ants are not a strong people, yet they provide their food in the summer.

Pro 30:26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.

Pro 30:27 The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks.

Pro 30:28 You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.

Pro 30:29 "There are three things which are stately in their march, four which are stately in going:

Pro 30:30 The lion, which is mightiest among animals, and doesn't turn away for any;

Pro 30:31 the greyhound, the male goat also; and the king against whom there is no rising up.

Pro 30:32 "If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, put your hand over your mouth.

Pro 30:33 For as the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood; so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife."

Pro 31:1 The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.

Pro 31:2 "Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!

Pro 31:3 Don't give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

Pro 31:4 It is not for kings, Lemuel; it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?'

Pro 31:5 lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.

Pro 31:6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:

Pro 31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

Pro 31:8 Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.

Pro 31:9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."

Pro 31:10 Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.

Pro 31:11 The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.

Pro 31:12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.

Pro 31:13 She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.

Pro 31:14 She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.

Pro 31:15 She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.

Pro 31:16 She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.

Pro 31:17 She girds her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.

Pro 31:18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn't go out by night.

Pro 31:19 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.

Pro 31:20 She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.

Pro 31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

Pro 31:22 She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

Pro 31:23 Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.

Pro 31:24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.

Pro 31:25 Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.

Pro 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is on her tongue.

Pro 31:27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn't eat the bread of idleness.

Pro 31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:

Pro 31:29 "Many women do noble things, but you excel them all."

Pro 31:30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.

Pro 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!

 
 

The Composite Bible

The World English Bible

Darby's Translation

Young's Literal Translation

The Composite Bible is a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the World English Bible (the least literal-black text) for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue text)to make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the most literal translation- red text) at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make you think about what the Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial manner.

Darby's Translation

Young's Literal Translation

The Composite Bible is a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the World English Bible (the least literal-black text) for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue text)to make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the most literal translation- red text) at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make you think about what the Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial manner.
