Proverbs 30:2-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 30
2
I am certainly more stupid than any man,
And I do not have the understanding of a man;
3
Nor 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 His 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 pure;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
6
Do not add to His words
Or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
7
Two things I have asked of You;
Do not refuse me before I die:
8
Keep deception and lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the food that is my portion,
9
So that I will not be full and deny
You
and say, 'Who is the
Lord
?'
And that I will not become impoverished 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 kind
of person
who curses his father
And does not bless his mother.
12
There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes,
Yet is not washed from his filthiness.
13
There is a kind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised
in arrogance.
14
There is a kind
of person
whose teeth are
like
swords
And his jaw teeth
like
knives,
To devour the poor from the earth
And the needy from among mankind.
15
The leech has two daughters:
'Give'
and
'Give.'
There are three things that will not be satisfied,
Four that will not say, 'Enough':
16
Sheol, the infertile womb,
Earth that is never satisfied with water,
And fire that never says, 'Enough.'
King James Version
Chapter 30
2
Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3
I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4
Who 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?
5
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7
Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9
Lest 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.
10
Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
11
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
13
There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14
There 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.
15
The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
16
The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 30
2
I am more stupid than any other person,
and I lack a human’s ability to understand.
3
I have not gained wisdom,
and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.
4
Who 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?
5
Every word of God is pure;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6
Don’t add to his words,
or he will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
7
Two things I ask of you;
don’t deny them to me before I die:
8
Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me.
Give me neither poverty nor wealth;
feed me with the food I need.
9
Otherwise, I might have too much
and deny you, saying, "Who is the
Lord
?"
or I might have nothing and steal,
profaning the name of my God.
10
Don’t slander a servant to his master
or he will curse you, and you will become guilty.
11
There is a generation that curses its father
and does not bless its mother.
12
There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
yet is not washed from its filth.
13
There is a generation—how haughty its eyes
and pretentious its looks.
14
There is a generation whose teeth are swords,
whose fangs are knives,
devouring the oppressed from the land
and the needy from among mankind.
15
The leech has two daughters: "Give, Give!"
Three things are never satisfied;
four never say, "Enough!":
16
Sheol; a childless womb;
earth, which is never satisfied with water;
and fire, which never says, "Enough!"
New Living Translation
Chapter 30
2
I am too stupid to be human,
and I lack common sense.
3
I have not mastered human wisdom,
nor do I know the Holy One.
4
Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down?
Who holds the wind in his fists?
Who wraps up the oceans in his cloak?
Who has created the whole wide world?
What is his name — and his son’s name?
Tell me if you know!
5
Every word of God proves true.
He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.
6
Do not add to his words,
or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar.
7
O God, I beg two favors from you;
let me have them before I die.
8
First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
9
For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, 'Who is the
Lord
?'
And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.
10
Never slander a worker to the employer,
or the person will curse you, and you will pay for it.
11
Some people curse their father
and do not thank their mother.
12
They are pure in their own eyes,
but they are filthy and unwashed.
13
They look proudly around,
casting disdainful glances.
14
They have teeth like swords
and fangs like knives.
They devour the poor from the earth
and the needy from among humanity.
15
The leech has two suckers
that cry out, 'More, more!'
There are three things that are never satisfied —
no, four that never say, 'Enough!':
16
the grave,
the barren womb,
the thirsty desert,
the blazing fire.

11
There are those who curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers.
12
There are those who are clean in their own eyes
but are not washed of their filth.
13
There are those — how lofty are their eyes,
how high their eyelids lift!
14
There are those whose teeth are swords,
whose fangs are knives,
to devour the poor from off the earth,
the needy from among mankind.
15
The leech has two daughters:
Give and Give.

New International Version
Chapter 30
2
Surely I am only a brute, not a man;
I do not have human understanding.
3
I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.
4
Who 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.
6
Do not add to his words,
or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
7
"Two things I ask of you,
Lord
;
do not refuse me before I die:
8
Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
9
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the
Lord
?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.
10
"Do not slander a servant to their master,
or they will curse you, and you will pay for it.
11
"There are those who curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers;
12
those who are pure in their own eyes
and yet are not cleansed of their filth;
13
those whose eyes are ever so haughty,
whose glances are so disdainful;
14
those whose teeth are swords
and whose jaws are set with knives
to devour the poor from the earth
and the needy from among mankind.
15
"The leech has two daughters.
‘Give! Give!’ they cry. "There are three things that are never satisfied,
four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
16
the grave, the barren womb,
land, which is never satisfied with water,
and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’
New King James Version
Chapter 30
2
Surely I
am
more stupid than
any
man,
And do not have the understanding of a man.
3
I 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.
7
Two
things
I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
8
Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
Feed me with the food allotted to me;
9
Lest I be full and deny
You,
And say, “Who
is
the
Lord
?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.
10
Do not malign a servant to his master,
Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11
There is
a generation
that
curses its father,
And does not bless its mother.
12
There is
a generation
that is
pure in its own eyes,
Yet
is not washed from its filthiness.
13
There is
a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up.
14
There is
a generation whose teeth
are like
swords,
And whose fangs
are like
knives,
To devour the poor from off the earth,
And the needy from
among
men.
15
The leech has two daughters—
Give
and
Give!
There are three
things that
are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:
16
The grave,
The barren womb,
The earth
that
is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”
