Proverbs 30
1. Personal Confession (1-9)
① Man's ignorance toward God (1-6)
⑴ Confession of one's ignorance (1-4)
This author confesses to himself that he is ignorant. He confesses that he is ignorant and has no knowledge of God. So, is this really such a person? This author is a wise person. Nevertheless, the reason for saying this is that he is confessing his ignorance before the wisdom of God.

② How can we serve God properly? (7-9)
Two things we ask for to glorify God
