Proverbs 30:3 — Meaning and Application

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, {even} the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. {have: Heb. know}

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?

Every word of God {is} pure: he {is} a shield unto them that put their trust in him. {pure: Heb. purified}
