Proverbs 31

So I decided to read Proverbs 31 today since its the last chapter in Proverbs!! I also don't want to miss a chapter. It's been so good to read. I don't have too much strength and I'm really tired from the painkillers so I will post about the wisdom tooth extraction experience tomorrow. Also, I'm alive! I made it and now I must continue my work on earth!

I really liked Proverbs 31 and am glad that this book ends the way it does.

Here are the verses that stood out to me and I hope I will one day come back to this to reread and reanalyze. This chapter ends the book of Proverbs by talking about the characteristics of a wife and describes her role in and relationship with her family.

Verses 8-9, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."

Verses 10-12, "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."

Verse 17, " She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks."

Verses 25, "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."

Verse 26, "She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue."

Verse 30, "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
