Context Readings

The Oracle Of Agur

4 Who has ascended to heaven, and then descended? Who has collected the wind in his hands? Who has wrapped up waters in a garment? Who has established all the farthest points of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know! 5 Everything God says is pure; he is a shield for those who take refuge in him. 6 Don't add to his words, or he will rebuke you, and you will be shown to be a liar.
