The Sayings of Agur

30 These are the sayings
and the message
    of Agur son of Jakeh.
Someone cries out to God,
“I am completely worn out!
    How can I last?[a]
I am far too stupid
    to be considered human.
I never was wise,
and I don't understand
    what God is like.”

(A) Has anyone gone up to heaven
    and come back down?
Has anyone grabbed hold
    of the wind?
Has anyone wrapped up the sea
or marked out boundaries
    for the earth?
If you know of any
    who have done such things,
then tell me their names
    and their children's names.
