PROVERBS 30

GOD’S WORD IS THE SOURCE OF WISDOM

This chapter is accredited to a man named Agur, who gives insight into using God’s Word as a source of wisdom. Agur describes himself as lacking wisdom and understanding, calling himself stupid and weary. 

Agur acknowledges the vast power of God, saying that He can do what no other can. The wisdom and capability of God far surpass that of mankind. But because of God’s Word, humanity has access to God’s wisdom. Agur claims every word of God proves true and warns against adding our intentions or meanings to God’s Word. God alone is the author of wisdom, there is nothing we can add to make His Word better! 

Agur ends his oracle by listing his observations around things that are never satisfied, things that amaze him, and things that are small but wise.
