Proverbs 30 is attributed to Agur son of Jakeh and consists of his observations and reflections on wisdom, humility, and the natural world. Agur begins with an acknowledgment of his own limitations and a reverence for God's wisdom. The chapter includes a series of numerical proverbs, which list various things that are remarkable or puzzling, such as things that are never satisfied and things that are too wonderful to understand. Agur emphasizes the importance of humility, contentment, and reverence for God.
