“The Hebrew word rendered ‘virtuous’ here refers to much more than purity. The word means ‘strong in all moral qualities.’” (Proverbs 31:10)

“The anthem takes the form of a poem that is an acrostic. Each verse begins with one of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet arranged in the usual order.” (Proverbs 31:10–31)

“‘She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms’ (Proverbs 31:17). In other words, she sees to it that she keeps healthy.” (Proverbs 31:16–19)

“The work of training children must begin when they are young” (Proverbs 22:6)

“The reason for Solomon’s prayer was the peril of riches. The Laodicean church, which was exposed to the danger, boasted, ‘I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing’ (Revelation 3:17). It had its money, its methods, and its ‘ministry’ and did not see its need for Christ. It is not at all surprising that we find the Lord outside the Laodicean church (3:20).” (Proverbs 30:7–9)
