G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 30:1-33

This and the following chapter constitute an appendix to the Book of Proverbs. It is impossible to say who Agur was. In this selection from his writings we have an introduction, in which he a r m s the fact of man's little wisdom, and then utters the memorable prayer which reveals his fear of Jehovah and his desire for that balanced life which is one of safety. From the prayer to the end of the chapter we have his observations on various matters affecting conduct. In this the first section... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 30:1-33

Proverbs 30. The Sayings of Agur.— It is uncertain whether the title embraces the whole chapter or Proverbs 30:1-1 Samuel :, or Proverbs 30:1-Numbers : only. Proverbs 30:1 . The title is extremely obscure, and has been much discussed. The VSS show a wide divergence in their interpretation. It is perhaps simplest to accept the title as referring to some sage of repute among the Wisdom circles in the Greek period. Proverbs 30:1 b has been interpreted in many ways, the proper names being taken... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 30:1-33

Proverbs 30:1 . The words of Agur. The style of this book seems to be much older than that of Solomon. Its simplicity very well agrees with the times of the patriarchs, or when the judges presided. He confesses his ignorance of navigation. Ithiel, God with me; and Ucal, the mighty one, seem to have been either friends or pupils of Agur. But too many critics play and trifle with the import of their names. Thousands in Israel also put the name of God to the beginning, and sometimes to the... read more
