Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Proverbs 30:2
A Homily for Humble Folks A Sermon (No. 2140) delivered on Lord's Day, April 27th, 1890 by C. H. Spurgeon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington. “Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.” Proverbs 30:2 . Sometimes it is necessary for a speaker to refer to himself, and he may feel it needful to do so in a way peculiar to the occasion. When Elihu addressed himself to Job and the three wise men, he commended himself to them saying, “I am full of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 30:1-33
Chapter 30This is the end of the proverbs that were gathered by Hezekiah's men. Now in the thirtieth chapter we have,The words of Agur ( Proverbs 30:1 )Whoever he is. He tells us who he is, but it really doesn't help.[he's a] son of Jakeh ( Proverbs 30:1 ),But I don't know who Jakeh is.even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal ( Proverbs 30:1 ),And men that I don't know. So yet God has seen fit to put this here in the scriptures. Agur declares,Surely I am more... 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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 30:1
Pro 30:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, [even] the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, Ver. 1. The words of Agur the son of Jakeh. ] The Vulgate renders, Verba Congregantis filii Vomentis, taking these proper names for appellatives, as if the penman of this chapter meant to tell us that he would here give us his sacred collectanies or miscellanies, such as he had taken up from the mouths of wisest men, who had vomited or cast them up, in a like sense as that... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 30:2
Pro 30:2 Surely I [am] more brutish than [any] man, and have not the understanding of a man. Ver. 2. Surely I am more brutish than any man. ] Or, Surely I have been brutish since I was a man. See how this good man vilifies, yea, nullifies himself to the utmost. This was true humility, that like true balm ever sinks to the bottom, when hypocritical, as oil, swims on the top. Humilitas, ab humo, because it lays a man flat on the ground. Agur had seen Ithiel and Ucal; hence he seeth so little by... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 30:3
Pro 30:3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. Ver. 3. I neither learned wisdom. ] As he had it not by nature, a so neither had he attained unto it by any pains or skill of his own. "There is a spirit indeed in man" - a reasonable soul and a faculty of reasoning - "but the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding." Job 32:8 Not that Agur neglected the means of knowledge, or put off the study of it (as Solomon’s fool, Pro 24:7 ), from a conceit of the... read more

Ver. 4. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? ] Who but the Son of man which is in heaven? Joh 3:13 who but the holy angels upon that Son of man, the ladder of life? Joh 1:51 who but those that have, in some measure, the knowledge... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Proverbs 30:12
DISCOURSE: 825THE SELF-DECEIVER EXPOSEDProverbs 30:12. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.MEN of themselves are very backward to form an unfavourable estimate of their own character. Hence arises the necessity of accurate discrimination and undaunted fidelity in ministers, whose office is to “separate the precious from the vile,” and to give to every one his portion in due season. The Scriptures draw a broad line of distinction... read more
