Proverbs 30

Proverbs 30:1-31

The last division consists of two supplements, one of the words of Agur (chap. 30), and the other of Lemuel (chap. 31). Agur’ s words begin with an exaltation of the Word of God (Proverbs 30:1-6), followed by short and pithy maxims with reference to the rich and the poor, pride and greed, etc. Lemuel’ s words open with a philosophical statement, apply chiefly to kings, followed by his well-known poem in praise of the virtuous woman.
