Proverbs 30:1 says,The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,  This chapter of Proverbs is attributed to someone other than Solomon, someone named Agur.  Matthew Henry says that could refer to someone who collects wise sayings, but is most likely the person's name.  Either way, these are divinely inspired teachings preserved for us today.  Verse two states,  Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.  I believe that this is a reference to the man's own ability apart from God's guidance.  We are likewise incapable of understanding God's will without God's guidance.  Verse three adds, I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.  Solomon had spoken of his wisdom, but Agur speaks of his lack of wisdom.  He recognizes that he does not know everything about the Holy, or God, and so must we. Verse four asks, Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?  Agur seems to be acknowledging people's inability to know God without His revelation of Himself.  He also acknowledges Christ, the Son of God, the only One Who can descend from heaven and ascend there again.  Verse five proclaims, Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.  God's word is the truth, and we can put our faith in it and in Him.  Knowing this, as followers of Christ, we should always live by God's guidance.  Verse six says,  Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.  We are not to attempt to make God's word say something that it doesn't, and we are certainly not to attempt to add to what His word says.  Verse seven states, Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:  Then verse eight continues, Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:  The two things required is that this person asks for are grace sufficient for his soul and to be neither too rich nor too poor, but to simply be fed, or have ones needs met.  Verse nine continues, Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.  If a people are too rich, they may question the need for God.  If people are too poor, they may steal and curse God, feeling that He has failed them.  Verse ten states, Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.  I believe that this means that we are not to falsely accuse someone to their master, or boss.  If we do, we are the one who will suffer when we are found guilty of doing this.  The next four verses speak of some of the sins of certain generations, which could really be any generation.  Verse eleven says, There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.  We begin with disrespecting parents.  Even if we feel that this is true today, so have many other generations.  It may be more true today, or it may be that their are just more people and better information sharing.  Verse twelve states, There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.  I believe that this would mean a generation that believes that whatever they declare to be the truth, and not God's laws, are what matter.  Though they may attempt to justify themselves, they are still filthy spiritually in God's eyes.  Verse thirty adds, There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.  I believe that this refers to the glorification of man's achievements above what God is capable of doing.  Verse fourteen concludes, There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.  This refers to an attempt to destroy the poor instead of having compassion for and helping them.  We in America really do not know the depths of poverty that exists in many countries, but even here we tend to demonize the poor.  We see them as taking too much of our riches from us, and we particularly look down on the poor of other countries attempting to come here.  Verse fifteen says, The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:  Then verse sixteen concludes, The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.  The first of the four things that will never be satisfied, or full, is the grave, or death.  People will continue to die until Christ returns.  The second is the barren womb.  I believe that this means that a woman who wants a child and cannot have one will always feel the desire to have one.  The third thing is draught.  When a draught comes, especially in certain parts of the world, people suffer, but droughts will continue to happen.  The fourth thing is uncontrolled fire.  Fire does not simply burn for awhile and then decide to stop.
