Agur had a special prayer. But it was a strange prayer.

Agur had a particular reason why he did not want to become rich. He thought that he would forget God. But money does not cause people to forget God. Many rich people serve God. And they use their money wisely. They are generous and they help poor people.

There was also a particular reason why Agur did not want to become poor. He thought that he might steal. But if someone is poor, this does not cause him to steal. Many poor people serve God, and they do not steal. These people need many things, but they are still honest. And there are many rich people who are evil. Some rich people even steal from poor people.

Whether you are rich or poor, you should still serve God.

v10 When you speak to a master, do not insult his servant!

When the master insults you, then you will suffer.
