Alternate translation: "an important message" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]]) +"an important message" +# General Information + +Chapter 31 begins with 9 verses from King Lemuel. The last portion of this chapter is a poem about a godly wife. This person is unknown in Scripture. It is important to recognize that the words in this chapter are words of his mother addressed to him. They are formed like advice of a mother to her son. His advice to his son addresses themes of avoiding drinks with alcohol and of being fair and righteous (31:1-9). The final section about the godly wife addresses several themes, including the great value of a godly wife (30:10-12), her hard work (31:13-19), her generosity (31:20), her care for her family (31:21-23), and her dignity, wisdom, and fear of the Lord (31:25-31). \ No newline at end of file
