Lectionary Preaching Workbook
In this epilogue in Proverbs, a godly woman is described. It
is a picture far from the view that in Old Testament times, a
woman was a nobody, a man's property without privileges and
rights. She is a wife and mother who fears the Lord. Her husband
and children praise her and call her blessed.

selfishness. This kind of wisdom provides disorder and confusion.
