Proverbs 30:1-3
International Standard Version

The Oracle

30 A discourse by the faithful collector.[a]

This is what this valiant man declared to the God with me,
    to the God with me, who then prevailed:[b]
2 Surely I am beyond the senselessness of any man;
    I do not perceive things[c] the way human beings do.
3 I never acquired wisdom,
    but I know what the Holy One knows.
