THE PROVERBS 31 MAN
Who can find a man of integrity? For such a one is of priceless value that perpetually increases.
He walks in the fear of the Lord and observes all of His statutes.
He embraces wisdom wholeheartedl and continues in the way of sound discipline. He maintains discretion and does not depart from the path of righteousness, for he understands words of insight.
He treats his wife as he treats his own body, seeking her protection and well-beng at all times.
The heart of his wife rests beneath his covering and flourishes in all fruitfulness under the outpouring of his love.
He is faithful, drinking from his own well, and is unceasingly satisfied by the wife of his youth, always loving her as a lover who loves still.
He will do her good not evil all the days of his life. Though he waxes strong, he exercises humility.
He diligently works to answer and supply the needs of his family and household. His wife has no fear of the times to come for he prudently considers the future and prepares for it.
He is kind to the needy, and his name is synonymous with a good report. His reputation precedes him; therefore, others seek his counsel and follow his example as well as instruction. His mouth is a fountain of life to his household and to all who seek refreshing.
He walks in confidence and sound judgement, administering wise instruction to his wife and children.
He sets his house in God-ordained order, He redeems his household and covers its inhabitants with prayer.
He considers the words of his wife, celebrates her wisdom, and crowns her as a helpmeet for him. He grants her a double portion, blesses her gifts, and boasts of her achievements.
He is clothed in love and faithfulness. He trusts and rests secure in the help of his Redeemer.
Many men appear to be desirable at first glance, but the man who fears the Lord is to be praised, for his witness endures the test of time and scrutiny. Give him the honour he has earned and let the work of his hands prosper and be spread abroad.
