Proverbs 31:10-31

 

1) Does this address the issue of having it all in our time?

2) Note the woman of worth could be translated as warrior woman or woman of valor. think of her possessing martial virtues, a sort of Marine.

3) Note her public work. Is she religious?

4) She is virtuous, but these extend to her family.

5) Other than having arms like the First Lady, where are the physical attributes?

6) Who are role models, public and private for you?

7) Proverbs starts with Lady Wisdom, in chs 1-9 as a personification of wisdom. Now it closes with a human emboiment of wisdom, again female.

8) With older folks, recall how hard women worked with laundry or dressing fowl. Today, talk about the running in cars or putting hours at workaway from home and at home

9) What virtue do you prize in her?

10) Again recall that Jesus is seen as Wisdom Incarnate. Does that change reading of the passage?
