Agur's Guest Appearance

Proverbs 29-30

Agur, if he is a real person, makes a small, but powerful guest appearance in the Book of Proverbs. His contribution to the wisdom literature presages Paul's advice to Timothy ("Every word of God proves true") and John's admonition at the end of Revelation ("Do not add to his words, or he may rebuke you")... and yet he regards himself as "too stupid to be human."
