Wesley's Notes

30:8 Vanity - All vanity of heart and life; a vain conversation, or a love of the vain things of this world. Lies - All falsehood and deceit in my words and carriage. Convenient - Moderate and suitable both to my natural necessities, and to that condition of life in which thou hast put me.

King James Translators' Notes

convenient...: Heb. of my allowance

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8. vanity-all sorts of sinful acts (Job 11:11; Isa 5:18).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

30:7-9 Agur wisely prayed for a middle state, that he might be kept at a distance from temptations; he asked daily bread suited to his station, his family, and his real good. There is a remarkable similarity between this prayer and several clauses of the Lord's prayer. If we are removed from vanity and lies; if we are interested in the pardoning love of Christ, and have him for our portion; if we walk with God, then we shall have all we can ask or think, as to spiritual things. When we consider how those who have abundance are prone to abuse the gift, and what it is to suffer want, Agur's prayer will ever be found a wise one, though seldom offered. Food convenient; what is so for one, may not be so for another; but we may be sure that our heavenly Father will supply all our need, and not suffer us to want anything good for us; and why should we wish for more?


Job 23:12 "I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
Matthew 6:11 'Give us this day our daily bread. (NASB ©1995)
