Proverbs 30:4-6

The Words of Agur

4 Who has o ascended to heaven and come down?
Who has p gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has q wrapped up the waters in a garment?
Who has established all r the ends of the earth?
s What is his name, and what is his son's name?
Surely you know!

5 t Every word of God proves true;
he is u a shield to those who take refuge in him.
 6 v Do not add to his words,
lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.
