3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I attained
to the knowledge of the Holy One.
Proverbs Club Commentary
A pastor and friend of mine
claims to have written the book:
“Humility And How I Attained It”
My book in progress:
“How I Became Wiser Than Solomon”
The more I study Wisdom,
The more I realize how little I comprehend it.

2 Surely I am only a brute, not a man;
I do not have human understanding.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Human Understanding is Godly common sense.
Without it, you are not properly functioning.
Get some wisdom and understanding: Read Proverbs.

1 The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh,
an inspired utterance.
This man’s utterance to Ithiel:
“I am weary, God, but I can prevail.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Proverbs 30 claims that this chapter
is an “Inspired Utterance” of Agur.
Agur tells Ithiel that he is weary
but he will prevail with the help of God.

32 “If you play the fool and exalt yourself,
or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!
33 For as churning cream produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.”
Proverbs Club Commentary
Forgo the paths of the Wicked.
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
Proverbs 4:14 (NIV)

29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride,
four that move with stately bearing:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts,
who retreats before nothing;
31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat,
and a king secure against revolt.
Proverbs Club Commentary
A righteous leader is akin
to a lion, a rooster, and a he-goat;
all noble characteristics.
