The words of Lemuel, king of Massa, which his mother taught him: What, my son? What, son of my womb? What, son of my vows? Give not your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for […]

This is the way Agur ends this chapter. If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth. For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife. Proverbs 30:32, 33. Thank You Lord for Agur’s wisdom. These verses certainly […]

Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand; the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden. This is the way of an adulteress; she eats, […]

The leech has two daughter; “Give, give” they cry. Three things are never satisfied; for never say, “Enough”: Sheol, the barren womb, the earth ever thirsty for water, and the fire which never says, “Enough.” Proverbs 30:15, 16 Lord this verse sure brings back vivid memories for me and I totally understand what Agur is […]
