Proverbs 30–31

Common Theme
Both chapters contrast the limits of human understanding with the enduring value of godly wisdom. Agur humbly acknowledges his lack of knowledge apart from God, while Lemuel’s mother teaches that wisdom is shown in upright leadership and virtuous living.

Questions
– How does Proverbs 30 challenge self-reliance in favor of dependence on God’s revelation?
– What qualities in Proverbs 31 define true strength and honor from God’s perspective?

God Shot
God is the source of all wisdom and the one who defines what is truly noble and praiseworthy. He exalts humility, justice, and faithful stewardship, and He delights in those who fear Him above all else.
