Surely I am more brutish then any man] It may be read thus. Surely I am too foolish to be a great man, nay, I have not the knowledge of an ordinary man in me. So the words are used, Psalms 49:2. and Psalms 62:9. It seems Agur had not his knowledge by humane instruction, but by divine inspiration, as Amos had, Amos 7:14. Herein he declareth his great humilitie, who would not attribute any wisdom to himself, but all unto God, Psalms 73:22.
