Proverbs 30 · Grade 4

Agur's Prayer

Name Date

Read and Think

Chapter 30 records the words of Agur the son of Jakeh. Agur begins humbly, saying he is the most ignorant man. He asks questions only God can answer: Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment?

Agur trusts God's word. Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Don't you add to his words. Then he prays: Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me. He fears that riches could make him forget God and poverty could tempt him to steal.

Agur loved to observe creation. There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise: The ants are not a strong people, yet they provide their food in the summer. The hyraxes are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks. The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks. You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.
