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

17 The eye that mocketh at his father and despiseth to obey his mother the ravens of the valley shall pick it out and the young eagles shall eat it

18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me yea four which I know not

19 The way of an eagle in the air the way of a serpent upon a rock the way of a ship in the midst of the sea and the way of a man with a maid

20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman she eateth and wipeth her mouth and saith I have done no wickedness

21 For three things the earth is disquieted and for four which it cannot bear

22 For a servant when he reigneth and a fool when he is filled with meat

23 For an odious woman when she is married and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress

24 There be four things which are little upon the earth but they are exceeding wise

25 The ants are a people not strong yet they prepare their meat in the summer

26 The conies are but a feeble folk yet make they their houses in the rocks

27 The locusts have no king yet go they forth all of them by bands

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands and is in kings' palaces

29 There be three things which go well yea four are comely in going

30 A lion which is strongest among beasts and turneth not away for any

31 A greyhound __ an he goat also and a king against whom there is no rising up

32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself or if thou hast thought evil lay thine hand upon thy mouth

33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife
