Sublime

These verses contain a promise for now and a promise for going forward.

Each verse needs to be understood in the context of the chapter in which it appears, and each chapter in the light of the book as a whole. And there is a wider context we must consider as well: the whole Bible.

Live the Psalms

In Jewish tradition Proverbs 31:10–31 is recited by a husband to his wife on Sabbath evenings.

14 For a long time I have held my peace, I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor, I will gasp and pant. 15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbage; I will turn the rivers into islands, and dry up the pools.
