The Words of Agur Ben Yakeh

God? Who Needs Him?

30 1-2 The skeptic swore, “There is no God!
    No God!—I can do anything I want!
I’m more animal than human;
    so-called human intelligence escapes me.

3-4 “I flunked ‘wisdom.’
    I see no evidence of a holy God.
Has anyone ever seen Anyone
    climb into Heaven and take charge?

    stake out the ends of the earth?
Just tell me his name, tell me the names of his sons.
    Come on now—tell me!”
