The Proverbs 31 Woman

Video Details

Description: In this verse-by-verse breakdown of Proverbs 31:10-22, Bryan refutes feminist distortions by showing the excellent wife as a rare grace from God—fearing Yahweh, trusting her husband, doing him good, working eagerly at home with wool/flax for clothing, sourcing distant food like merchant ships, rising early to feed household/servants, buying/planting a vineyard with her earnings, girding herself with strength, ensuring her trading is profitable, keeping her lamp burning at night, using distaff/spindle, helping the poor/needy, preparing for snow with scarlet clothing, making bed coverings, and dressing in fine linen/purple. She trades excess homemade goods to merchants (possibly bartering per Septuagint ἀπέδοτο as give/sell/repay), but remains family-focused, not a career merchant or businesswoman independent of her husband. Parallels to Ruth's excellence through fearing God; value in modeling wisdom to children over wealth. Contrasts biblical model with feminism's independence/shame. Continues next week with rest of chapter and Deborah. Speaker: Bryan Scripture citations: Proverbs 31:10-22; Proverbs 20:15; Proverbs 12:4; Proverbs 18:22; Proverbs 19:14; Ruth 3:11; Ezekiel 27:16.
