The Words of Agur

30 The words of ^[a]Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle:

The man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and to Ucal:

²
Surely ^[b]I am more brutish and stupid than any man,
And I do not have the understanding of a man [for I do not know what I do not know].
³
I have not learned [skillful and godly] wisdom,
Nor do I have knowledge of the Holy One [who is the source of wisdom].
