but those who seek the Lord understand it all.
30:3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor do I have knowledge of the Holy One.

do not refuse me before I die:
30:11 There is a generation who curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers.
30:18 There are three things that are too wonderful for me,
four that I do not understand:
31:3 Do not give your strength to women,
nor your ways to that which ruins kings.
