What does Proverbs 30:1-5 teach about wisdom?

Answered in 1 source

Proverbs 30:1-5 teaches that true wisdom acknowledges one's own ignorance and seeks to know God.

Proverbs 30:1-5 presents wisdom as recognizing human limitations and the necessity of divine revelation. The author, Agur, expresses a deep awareness of his own ignorance, stating that he lacks the understanding of a man. This humility is critical in the pursuit of knowledge, especially of the Holy One. True wisdom is rooted in an earnest desire to know God and understand the profound mysteries of His nature and creation, underscoring that wisdom begins with reverence for God (Proverbs 9:10).
