Mishle 30:1-10 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. The devarim of Agur Ben Yakeh, even the massa; the gever (man) spoke unto Itiel, even unto Itiel and Uchal:

2. Surely I am more stupid than any ish, and have not the binat adam.

3. I neither learned chochmah, nor have the da'as of the kadoshim.

4. Who hath ascended into Shomayim, or descended? Who hath gathered ruach in the hollows of His hands? Who hath bound the mayim in a cloak? Who hath established all the afsei aretz (ends of the earth)? What is Shmo (His Name), and what is Shem Bno (the Name of His Son [See Memra, creative Word of G-d in Targumim]), if thou canst tell?

5. Every word of G-d is flawless; He is a mogen unto them that take refuge in Him.

6. Add thou not unto His devarim, lest He rebuke thee, and thou be found a kazav (liar).

7. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before my mot;

8. Remove far from me shav (vanity, falsehood) and davar kazav (word of a liar); give me neither poverty nor osher; feed me lechem chukki (my daily bread);

9. Lest I be full, and deny Thee, and say, Who is Hashem? Or lest I be poor, and become a ganav, and profane the Shem of Elohai.

10. Do not slander an eved unto his adon, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
