The Words of Agur

"Give me neither poverty nor riches." Agur's short chapter in Proverbs holds some of the Bible's most memorable wisdom.

The Words of Agur: A Study of Proverbs 30 is a 12-lesson workbook by Kent Heaton.

How This Study Helps

Proverbs 30 is easy to pass over, with its riddles and lists of "four things." Yet it speaks directly to pride, greed, discontent, and self-control.

This study begins with an overview of Proverbs and then works through Agur's words lesson by lesson, from man's smallness before God and the danger of adding to His Word to contentment, honoring parents, and learning to control our passions. Each lesson includes explanation, questions, and practical application.
