雅基的儿子亚古珥的言语就是预言。这人对以铁和乌甲说:
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, [even] the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
我比众人更蠢笨,也没有人的聪明。
Surely I [am] more brutish than [any] man, and have not the understanding of a man.
我没有学好智慧,也不认识至圣者。
I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
谁升天或降下来?谁聚风在掌握中?谁包水在衣服里?谁立定地的四极?他名叫甚麽?他儿子名叫甚麽?你能道来吗?
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?
上帝的言语句句都是炼净的;投靠他的,他便作他们的盾牌。
Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
他的言语,你不可加添,恐怕他责备你,你就显为说谎言的。
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
我求你两件事,在我未死之先,不要不赐给我:
Two [things] have I required of thee; deny me [them] not before I die:
求你使虚假和谎言远离我;使我也不贫穷也不富足;赐给我需用的饮食,
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
恐怕我饱足不认你,说: 耶和华是谁呢?又恐怕我贫穷就偷窃,以致妄称我 上帝的名。
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].
你不要向主人控告仆人,恐怕他咒诅你,你便算为有罪。
Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

[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.
蚂蟥有两个女儿,常说:「给呀,给呀。」有三样不知足的,连不说「够的」共有四样:

就是坟墓和石胎,浸水不足的地,并火。
The grave; and the barren womb; the earth [that] is not filled with water; and the fire [that] saith not, [It is] enough.

Such [is] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
使地震动的有三样,连地担不起的共有四样:
For three [things] the earth is disquieted, and for four [which] it cannot bear:

For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
丑恶的女子出嫁;婢女接续主母。
For an odious [woman] when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
地上有四样小物,却甚聪明:
There be four [things which are] little upon the earth, but they [are] exceeding wise:

蹄兔是软弱之类,却在磐石中造房。
The conies [are but] a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom [there is] no rising up.
你若因自高自傲,行了愚顽,或是怀了恶念,就当用手掩口。
If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, [lay] thine hand upon thy mouth.
摇牛奶必成奶油;扭鼻子必出血。照样,激动怒气必起争端。
