Bible Question: Can someone break down proverbs chapter 31 |
Bible Answer: Hello Chosen, welcome to the forum. We have something in common. We are both chosen praise Jesus. I am no authority on Proberbs (or any section of the bible for that matter) but I wanted to give you something to consider while waiting on the member scholars that will likely respond soon. And there are some true scholars here on the forum so you have come to the right place. Here is a brief note from Adam Clark's Commentary on Proverbs 31. The commentary has much more to say about it and there are other commentaries as well. 'The words and prophecy of King Lemuel, and what his mother taught him, vv. 1, 2. Debauchery and much wine to be avoided, vv. 3-7. How kings should administer justice, vv. 8, 9. The praise of a virtuous woman and good housewife, in her economy, prudence, watchfulness, and assiduity in labor, vv. 10-29. Frailty of beauty, vv. 30, 31.' —Adam Clarke's Commentary Hope this helps, Jeff PS. A good commentary is great for helping understand scripture (but never the final authority or a replacement for Scripture) If you care for computer software there are many websites as well as free downloadable programs out there. Check out http://www.e-sword.net/ for an example of a really awesome, totally free complete bible software program and library. I use PC Study Bible 4 and Wordsearch7 as well, and the e-sword is just as functional as the high priced ones. |
