Proverbs 29 – 31
“A child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” Children left to themselves are the reason for much of our problems in society and in perpetually dysfunctional societies that pattern repeats itself.
“Where the is no vision, the people perish…” Welcome to my family—right now I lack vision and I feel that I lacked some vision for all of my adult life and the family is languishing ready to perish. “…but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” I have been keeping the law so far as I am able to determine but happiness is fleeting at best because of the predicaments caused by the lack of temporal vision.
I have heard the “who can find a virtuous woman” segment before. It did not realize that the context was a mother advising her son for life. The point is That such a woman is well worth the effort of seeking. A virtuous woman is one who feareth the Lord. The rest of the description is embellishment on that trait.
