Proverbs 30:1-6

1 verba Congregantis filii Vomentis visio quam locutus est vir cum quo est Deus et qui Deo secum morante confortatus ait

2 stultissimus sum virorum et sapientia hominum non est mecum

3 non didici sapientiam et non novi sanctorum scientiam

4 quis ascendit in caelum atque descendit quis continuit spiritum manibus suis quis conligavit aquas quasi in vestimento quis suscitavit omnes terminos terrae quod nomen eius et quod nomen filii eius si nosti

5 omnis sermo Dei ignitus clypeus est sperantibus in se

6 ne addas quicquam verbis illius et arguaris inveniarisque mendax
