The Words of Agur: Human Limits and the Pure Word of God
The collection shifts to Agur, who confesses the limits of human wisdom before asking a series of creation-scale questions. The poem names God as transcendent and trustworthy, asks who has ascended and descended and what his son’s name is, and ends by warning readers not to add to God’s tested words.
Agur says every word of God is pure and warns against adding to God’s words, closely developing Deuteronomy’s command neither to add to nor diminish from divine instruction. Revelation is protected from human supplementation.
