The words of Agur son of Jakeh. An oracle. The declaration of the man to Ithiel—to Ithiel and Ucal:
Note. The Masoretic pointing reads “to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal,” as proper names. With other vowels the same consonants read “I have wearied myself, O God, I have wearied myself, O God, and I am spent,” and many modern versions translate it so. This translation follows the Hebrew text.
