Proverbs 30:1-14

The words of Agur.
v.1 These are the words of Agur, but the identity of this Agur is unknown. All we know is what is indicated in the text: Agur, son of Jakeh, the man of Massa (ESV text note). His words are given as: “I am weary O God; I am weary, O God, and worn out.” These rather depressing words are difficult to translate and there are varying interpretations.
v.2-4 Here Agur considers himself too stupid to be a man. He doesn't have understanding and has not learned wisdom. He does not have knowledge of the holy one. He asks several rhetorical questions reminiscent of God's questions in Jb 38-39. The answer to them is of course only God himself.
v.5-6 Every word of God proves to be true, do not add to them lest you be found a liar (and he rebuke you). The Lord is a shield to those who take refuge in him. See Ps 18:30. Wise people recognize their ignorance and trust in the words of God.
v.7-9 The only prayer in Proverbs. Agur asks for: (1) remove me far from falshood and lying, (2) give me neither poverty nor riches, and (3) feed me with the food that is needful for me. His requests indicate that what he wants is good character and to be keep from circumstances that would endanger his character. He wants fair winds and a following sea (don't we all). The poor worry about having sufficient food and the rich are weighted down with worries.
v.10 Don't slander (lie about) a worker to his employer (nor servant to his master) lest he curse you and you be held guilty (by God). You would be damaging the person's livelihood.
v.11-14 Here are described four types of loathsome people: (1) those who curse their father and do not bless their mother, (2) those who are clean in their own eyes but are covered with filth, (3) those who are arrogant (lofty are their eyes), and (4) those whose teeth are swords devouring the poor and needy.
