Proverbs 30:1-6
New American Standard Bible
2I am certainly more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man;
3Nor have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
4Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His Son’s name? Surely you know!
5Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
6Do not add to His words Or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
King James Version

Chapter 30
1The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The pronouncement. The man’s oration to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal: 2I am more stupid than any other person, and I lack a human’s ability to understand. 3I have not gained wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One. 4Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his hands? Who has bound up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son— if you know? 5Every word of God is pure; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.New Living Translation
English Standard Version
2Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.
3I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.
4Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son 's name? Surely you know!
5 Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.
New International Version
Chapter 30
1The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh—an inspired utterance. This man’s utterance to Ithiel: "I am weary, God, but I can prevail. 2Surely I am only a brute, not a man; I do not have human understanding. 3I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.
4Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
5"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

1The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, his utterance. This man declared to Ithiel—to Ithiel and Ucal:
2 Surely I am more stupid than any man, And do not have the understanding of a man.
3I neither learned wisdom Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?
5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
