Study 21 From The Book of Proverbs Is:
Proverbs 31
With
this lesson we end the book of Proverbs and tomorrow we will dive into the book
of Romans.
1. What three virtues did King
Lemuel’s mother urge upon him (verses 1-9)? Are they any less necessary for all
who will occupy positions of responsibility?
2. Make a list of the qualities of
the ideal housewife as depicted in verses 10-31.
Notes
1.
Read verses 6, 7 in the light of verses 4, 5, ie., as ‘a cutting
reminder that an administrator has better things to do than anaesthetize
himself’
2.
Verse 10, ‘Good’: the Hebrew word includes both moral word and
practical efficiency. Cf. 12:4. Ruth was
such an one. See Ru. 3:11.
3.
Verse 18b. This does not
mean that she worked all night, but that her house was well ordered and ready
against emergencies. Cf. 13:9.
