Bible Answer: Without studying Hebrew (or have some really good Bible software) you can not get the exact parsing to diagram and do an exegesis of the verse but you can do some word study on this verse itself on the internet. Proverbs 31:10 to 31:31 is an acrostic which means the poet made each verse start with each letter of the hebrew alphabet in alphabetical order. To the right of this web page (http://www.studybibleforum.com) put in the Book Chapter:verse search Prov 31:31 and click Go. If you see a green C then click it to see the verse in context. A green N indicates there were notes put it may just be your own unanswered question. Clicking a green I will show you the Strongs concordance numbers, a transliteration of the Hebrew and the possible ways it has been translated.
