Proverbs 30:1-6 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. These are the solemn words of Agur son of Jakeh:“God is not with me, God is not with me,and I am helpless.

2. I am more like an animal than a human being;I do not have the sense a human being should have.

3. I have never learned any wisdom,and I know nothing at all about God.

4. Who has ever mastered heavenly knowledge?Who has ever caught the wind in his hand?Or wrapped up water in a piece of cloth?Or fixed the boundaries of the earth?Who is he, if you know? Who is his son?

5. “God keeps every promise he makes. He is like a shield for all who seek his protection.

6. If you claim that he said something that he never said, he will reprimand you and show that you are a liar.”
