What a jewel hidden away in these little verses!!!
Prov 30:1-4
The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh-- an oracle: This man declared to Ithiel, to Ithiel and to Ucal: "I am the most ignorant of men; I do not have a man's understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One. Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know!

How wise Agur was! Even though he said he was the most ignorant of men. Yet he knew that the Holy One had a son. AMAZING!
Prov 31:8a
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
The unborn, perhaps?

The Wife of Noble Character
Prov 31:31
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
We shouldn’t seek praise, but when it comes accept it gracefully, but give God the glory.
Did you notice what’s missing from her description? Read it again.. Does it mention anything about her outward appearance?
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
We shouldn’t seek praise, but when it comes accept it gracefully, but give God the glory.
